This year’s Captain’s Breakfast brought together leaders from 15 schools in the region. We spoke to our Senior School Captain’s, Hannah Kraus and Nicolas Tomsett, to ask them about their experience of the day.

What was your biggest leadership takeaway of the morning?

Nicolas – John Roxburgh shared that ‘Effective leadership consists of people, priorities and good objectives’.

Hannah – I appreciated the message that it’s ok for leaders to make mistakes. It is encouraging to know that those mistakes will happen but you can choose to grow from them.

What is the advantage of connecting with other schools?

Hannah – It’s a great opportunity to connect with peers who are in the same position as you but may have different insights into how to navigate it. The conversations definitely give you an ability to better your own leadership skills.

Do you have a highlight of the morning?

Nicolas – Listening to John’s stories was invaluable. He had so much wisdom to share from his leadership experience. Observing a variety of opinions and leadership styles of the captains from other schools was also a highlight.
