Murtoa students set the standard

Murtoa College students Georgia Zolj and Caitlin Funcke, both 17, are looking forward to representing their school as senior captains this year.

Both agreed the role was important in helping set the standard as student representatives.

Caitlin said being school captain meant ‘helping to the improve the school community’.

“It’s about making the school community better,” she said.

Georgia: “It means you get to represent the college in a manner that shows we are a well-presented school and we get to encourage students to have the same morals and values the school portrays.

“It is never something I’ve really thought about, but when the opportunity came about I found myself in a situation where I felt it was appropriate to apply.

“It really opens your mind up to different opportunities, not only in the school but the wider community.”

Both students praised the school, school community and ‘great teachers and students’.

Matilda Moore and Charlie Coote are junior leaders at the college.
