“There
are key people who influence the development of Christian values
within a social unit, be it the family, school or workplace.
There are critical periods when values are shaped, such as during
one’s early years. And there are events which profoundly
influence values.
Some influences come from expected sources, such as the family members; others
from surprising places, such as a neighbour or a peer at work. Effective Christian
leaders identify the major influences of values, providing them with support
and encouragement as they
positively influence the development of Christian values”.
(from'The
Collaborative Leader - Loughlan Sofield, Donald H Kuhn)
Students in all year levels at Domremy College are encouraged to believe that
they can make an impact on improving the quality of life of the College Community.
Student leadership is seen in terms of initiative and participation so as to
more completely achieve the stated goals of the College. Students are affirmed
for their insights and are expected to take responsibility for putting their
ideas into action and for encouraging others to help them in their endeavours.
To assist in this process a formal structure for student leadership exists
at Domremy. The formal structure serves to model and encourage the informal
and incidental leadership so necessary to an authentic educative community
for young women.
The five Prefects
will each have an Assistant. These five Assistants will be SRC
representatives from any year level who have been voted into the
position by the other SRC representatives. Each Prefect is expected
to establish a sub committee that is primarily concerned with the
area of responsibility designated to the prefect. The Assistant
must be a member of the sub-committee. All girls (not just SRC)
can be a member of a committee. The Prefect and Assistant work
towards involving as many students as possible.
