A STUDENT LEADER OF ST SAVIOUR’S COLLEGE
College captain Sydney Redulla shares her aspirations for 2019
Welcome to 2019 — it’s a fresh, new chapter where we will encounter many experiences that will remain with us for the rest of our lives; making new friends, heightening our skills, and processing a load of information every day. These are the basic requirements of being a high school student. It may seem daunting. It’s a new environment for many of you and you may not know many other students right now.
But, you are in a mercy environment and that means embracing our college values of compassion, hospitality, justice and excellence.
So, for those of you who have been here a year or more, find a new student, make them feel welcome and check in with them each day — show them what it means to live out the mercy values.
We welcome boarders from as far away as Papua New Guinea, Palm Island and Dauan Island. We also welcome boarders from western Queensland, including Cunnamulla, Thargomindah, Augathella and St. George.
As the oldest Catholic boarding school in Toowoomba, St Saviour’s College takes great pride in its long history of service to rural families and families from remote areas.
It is my goal to ensure our history of hospitality continues and that our welcoming spirit remains alive and well. Another one of my goals is to ensure the St Saviour’s College focus on growth mindset remains part of our fabric.
Students at St Saviour’s work at being resilient and being persistent because persistence and hard work are the keys to success — with a growth mindset you will be empowered to make things happen for yourself. Above all, cherish high school, treasure all the moments you share with others and don’t bury yourself under a mountain of work!
Find your passion, get involved in the co–curricular life of the College and challenge yourself every day.
