Cavendish Road State High School
Henry Clarke
Responsibilities as school captain: Being school captain isn’t just about a badge or standing at assembly. It’s about helping make Cav Road a place where people feel supported, whether that’s helping a Year 7 settle in, chatting with seniors about what’s next, or just being someone students can talk to. Those small moments matter as much as the bigger picture.
Reason for taking up the role and opportunities: I nominated for school captain because Cavendish Road has shaped me. It has challenged me, supported me, and has given me a sense of belonging. I wanted to give back and help others feel the same support because this community lifted me at my lowest and celebrated me at my highest. In this role, I’ve represented our school at state-level events, met inspiring community leaders, and worked alongside genuinely amazing people to achieve meaningful goals. Those opportunities have shown me how powerful student leadership can be, and they’ve deepened my belief in the strength of our public school system when we’re trusted to lead and represent our schools proudly.
Skills you would like to develop as captain: I don’t believe leadership is ever finished, it’s something you keep growing into. This year, I’m focused on becoming a stronger listener, making sure every voice, junior or senior, is heard and valued. I’m learning to bring together different perspectives, so decisions are made with students, not just for them. I’m also working on communicating in a way that inspires action, while managing time, juggling responsibilities, and staying calm under pressure. These are skills that will stay with me long past high school.
After school goals: After graduation, I hope to study law and political science, because I’m deeply interested in how decisions are made and how they affect people’s lives. My long-term goal is to work in public service, whether that’s in government, advocacy, or community leadership. What drives me is the idea of serving others and making sure people’s voices are not only heard but acted on, especially those who are often left out of important conversations. School captaincy has been a glimpse into that world of responsibility, and it’s given me confidence that this is the path I want to keep pursuing.
How being school captain feels: Being school captain feels both humbling and energising. Every time I stand before the school, I feel the weight of responsibility, not in a heavy way, but in a motivating one. I know I’ve been trusted by my peers, and that trust means everything to me. Leadership, to me, isn’t about the recognition or the title; it’s about showing up every day with integrity, empathy, and a drive to make this school better for everyone. It’s one of the greatest honours I’ve had in my life so far, and I carry that with me in everything I do. Even on the busiest, most stressful days, that sense of purpose reminds me why I wanted this role in the first place, and why I’m so proud to serve this school.
Seraphie Ward
Responsibilities as school captain: As school captain, my role extends across many areas of school life. I have the privilege of speaking at assemblies and community events, where I represent not only my fellow students but the values of Cav Road as a whole. I also act as a voice for the student body, ensuring their perspectives are heard and respected. But for myself, the highlight of this role is helping to organise school events, from Mothers and Father’s Day celebrations to my own school formal, I have loved taking part in the opportunity to see the Cav Road community come together and thrive.
Reason for taking up the role and opportunities: I chose to become school captain as a way of giving back to a school that has given me so much. From the moment I first walked through the gates, Cav Road has shaped who I am today. This school has consistently celebrated my successes, given me countless opportunities and built my confidence to enter adulthood with endless ambitions. Cav Road is the scaffold on which I have learnt and grown. Taking on the role of captain has allowed me to contribute to the brilliance of Cav Road, to strengthen an already incredible school culture, and to leave behind my own small part of its legacy.
Skills you would like to develop as captain: I have developed confidence in public speaking, learnt how to manage responsibilities with strong organisational skills, and most importantly, I’ve gained the ability to connect with people from all walks of life. Every conversation, whether with staff, students, or community members, has taught me something new, and I know these lessons will continue to shape me well beyond my time at school.
After school goals: Looking to the future, my ultimate dream is to combine my passion for sport with my interest in medicine by working as a doctor for the Brisbane Lions. Anatomy and physiology have always been a passion and anyone who knows me knows about my love for the Brisbane Lions, so I hope one day that I can make a meaningful contribution in both fields.
How being school captain feels: On paper, being school captain makes me a leader, but in truth, I still feel like every other student. I laugh with my friends at lunch, study hard in class, and live in small moments of everyday school life. As I approach the end of my time at Cav Road, I feel a deep sense of nostalgia. Each moment, no matter how ordinary, has become precious and bittersweet. Holding this role has made me appreciate those moments even more, it has reminded me that leadership is not about being set apart, but about sharing the journey together.
Ayr State High School
Jack Power
Responsibilities: Student council president, being a representative for our school, run ceremonies and parades. Lead by example and encourage others to strive for their best in class and on the field. Participate in all events.
Reason for taking up the role and opportunities: Encouraged by peers and teachers to uptake this role. In my last year of school, I wanted to connect with my school community.

How being school captain feels: Feels like you have a bigger responsibility, honourable and am making a difference in my community.
Sophie Robertson

Additionally, as Presidents of the Student Council, we address areas for improvement in our school community, providing an inclusive environment for students to voice their opinions.
Reason for taking up the role and opportunities: When I was in year 7, I was inspired by the school captain (Sarah McDonnell), and I knew that when I was in year 12, I wanted to ensure that my peers felt the same way that she had treated me – valued. Furthermore, I sought this role to develop my communication and interpersonal skills, particularly within a collaborative setting.
Skills to develop as captain: Event planning – learning how to organise and run whole-school events, such as the 5-Hour Charity Walk.
After school goals: Study a degree in aeronautical engineering at the Australian Defence Force Academy in Canberra. I aspire to work on rocket propulsion systems in the Defence Space Command.
How being school captain feels: Being school captain is such an honour, and it fills me with pride, respect and gratitude. It is more than a position to me; it is an opportunity to engage with, support and encourage the incredible students, staff and parents in our school and wider community.
Brisbane South State Secondary College
David Laniya
Responsibilities: Being a college captain is about more than holding a title; it is about inspiring others and helping to create meaningful change in our community. My responsibilities include representing the student body, living our College values, and leading initiatives that place connection, wellbeing and student voice at the centre of school life. I am especially looking forward to contributing to our upcoming House Legacy Projects, which will be centred on contribution, collaboration and connection. I am excited to play a role in shaping these projects as we begin to imagine how students can leave a meaningful mark on the college for years to come.
Reason for taking up the role and opportunities: I applied for this role because I wanted to give back to a college that has shaped me in so many ways. At Brisbane South State Secondary College, we have a unique culture where students of all ages feel part of one community. I take pride in cultivating strong relationships with our younger year levels, especially our Year 7s, because they are the key to our future. I also want to amplify our values so they remain at the heart of everything we do.
Skills to develop as captain: Programs such as Learnerpreneur, Concordium and Student Led Conferences have been pivotal in shaping who I am as a leader. Learnerpreneur has given me a holistic approach to understanding myself and others. Concordium has shown me the power of service and collaboration, while Student Led Conferences have strengthened my ability to advocate and reflect. Opportunities to collaborate with the University of Queensland have also inspired me to see what is possible when we learn alongside the best. These experiences have strengthened my connections with both teachers and peers and encouraged me to think globally while acting locally.
After school goals: Looking ahead, my desired future is one that combines leadership and service, where I can continue to make a positive difference in the lives of others. While I am still exploring what that path might look like, I feel confident that the skills and opportunities I have gained at Brisbane South will prepare me to take on any challenge. For me, the sky really is the limit.
How being school captain feels: Being college captain feels both humbling and motivating. It pushes me to lead by example and reminds me of the privilege it is to serve our college community. Elevating the New Standard is like launching a rocket ship — it takes teamwork, courage and belief in something bigger than ourselves. That is what leadership means to me.
Ananya Chillam Cherla
Responsibilities: Being a college captain for me is about embodying our values of Commitment, Inclusivity, Respect and Integrity while helping to shape a culture where every student can thrive. It means contributing actively to my community and working towards our vision of setting “The New Standard” in Education — Novo Discere Mundo, learning for a new world. Leadership is not just about holding a role, but about making choices every day that reflect who we are as a college and the future we are building together.
Reason for taking up the role and opportunities: Leadership has always inspired me. In primary school I was part of the student council and loved being a voice for others and helping to create solutions. When the opportunity came to apply to be one of the first college captains, I reflected on my passion for helping people and creating positive change and realised this role would challenge me to grow both as a person and as a leader.
Skills to develop as captain: As captain, I have learned the importance of communication, empathy and curiosity, which shape how we work together as a team. At Brisbane South State Secondary College, our leadership is also guided by the priorities of challenging conventions, collaborating with the best, and thinking globally while acting locally. These principles remind us to stay creative, stay connected and stay true to the goals we set together.
After school goals: My desired future after school is never certain, it is always shifting a little. But what I do know is that I want to be in a position where I can help the people around me, make an impact on the world in a positive way and learn new things every day. I want to immerse myself in a space that interests me and gives me the opportunity to grow with and for others. Even though I do not know exactly what that future looks like yet, I feel confident that the path I take will allow me to achieve these goals.
How being school captain feels: Being a school captain feels surreal and exciting. It gives me the chance to challenge myself, to grow as a person and to step into leadership with confidence. The role is deeply rewarding because it allows me to contribute to something bigger than myself. Being college captain is a call to action — to give my best every day and help shape the future of our college.
Batoul Soliman
Responsibilities: To me, leadership begins with listening. As captains, we have been working closely with Prefects to build a strong foundation where student voice sits at the centre of everything we do. Our LearnerPreneur program has also set us up to better understand who we are, how we connect with others, and how we can take meaningful action. This foundation is helping us focus on two major projects, or “rocks,” which will form our legacy and make a lasting contribution to the culture of our college.
Reason for taking up the role and opportunities: I applied for this role because I want to continue strengthening the unique culture that already exists at Brisbane South State Secondary College. Our college grows every year, with each student bringing their own hopes and ideas. I want to be the person who listens and ensures those ideas are valued. Even if not every idea can come to life, I can help foster a culture where students feel heard, supported and confident to act on their own ideas. To me, leadership is not only about being the voice of students, but about maintaining a positive culture where everyone feels empowered to use their own voice and take their own action.
Skills to develop as captain: As captain, I am focused on collaboration where I am working with others to bring ideas into action. For me, leadership is about being open minded, respecting different perspectives and building on them to create something stronger together. These are the skills I want to keep
developing, because they shape not only the outcomes we achieve but also the way people feel about contributing to them.
After school goals: I am exploring many possibilities for my desired future. Recently I have been interested in medicine, particularly in rural and refugee communities, and I am also passionate about maths and physics, which has led me to explore engineering. While I am not certain yet, what I do know is that I want to create positive change that helps others, in whatever path I take.
How being school captain feels: Being a college captain feels like an incredible opportunity to leave a legacy. As one of the first college captains, I know the way I step into this role will help shape student leadership for years to come. Our Concordium, which was designed collaboratively with staff and students, captures the essence of who we are and what we value. It comes from the Latin “together in heart,” and that spirit guides everything we do. To me, that is what leadership is all about — leading with and for others, to make a lasting mark on the culture of our college.
Isaac Silvester
Responsibilities: Being a college captain means living our values of Commitment, Inclusivity, Respect and Integrity through a strategic lens by leading whole school initiatives and projects. It also means fostering a positive and supportive learning culture, which requires empathy and an understanding of the wants, needs, challenges and opportunities of our peers.
Reason for taking up the role and opportunities: I applied to be college captain because I want to strengthen the culture we already have at Brisbane South State Secondary College — a culture where students are encouraged to share their ideas with confidence. My own experience at this college has been fantastic, and I want to help ensure that continues for younger students.
Skills to develop as captain: As college captain, I am developing my communication skills so I can lead diverse teams and help others express their ideas. Leadership for me is not just about speaking on stage, but about listening, encouraging and standing up for others when it matters. I have grown in confidence when speaking to groups, but even more importantly, I am learning how to connect with people and support them to be heard. Being a captain, and taking part in leadership workshops, empowers me to keep building the skills I need for my desired future.
After school goals: While I do not have a single pathway in mind yet, I know I want to be someone who can lead with empathy and bring knowledge to life in ways that inspire others. I am very maths and physics oriented, and I see those subjects as shaping the way I think. Skills like critical thinking and analysis are also helping me grow as a leader.
How being school captain feels: Being a college captain feels uplifting because it shows me that my vision for our college is valued and that I can play a role in making it a reality. Even though we are only a couple of months into this journey, I already feel encouraged by how promising our team is and grateful for the opportunities we have had to talk openly with school leadership about our college and its future. Just this week, our Concordium Student Leadership Team joined parents and staff to form a success team, providing feedback on our new four year strategic plan. It was a powerful example of how student voice is shaping the direction of our college.
Gin Gin State High School
David Flinn
Responsibilities: As school captain, my responsibilities encompass representing the student body, acting as a role model, and fostering a supportive and inclusive school culture. I work closely with staff and peers to lead events, support initiatives, and give students a voice in shaping their school experience. The role also involves engaging with the wider community and upholding the values of Gin Gin State High School in all settings.
Reason for taking up the role and opportunities: I accepted the role of school captain to give back to a school and community that has shaped who I and many others am today. It has provided me with the opportunity to represent my peers, mentor younger students, and contribute to a positive school culture. The position has also allowed me to further develop my leadership skills and build valuable connections within both the school and wider community.
Skills to develop as captain: I believe a good leader is someone who inspires and motivates others, leads by example, and listens to the needs and concerns of the community. In terms of leadership skills, I have realised that excellent communication and organisational abilities takes you a long way.

Additionally, I aim to contribute to the vibrant tapestry of Australia through achieving growth in community initiatives and effective citizenship of this magnificent country.
How being school captain feels: The role has taught me to be optimistic and forgiving, as I navigate the diverse community our school encompasses. As a role model, I strived to exhibit qualities such as integrity, accountability, and respect. I believe credibility is built through consistency, and I aimed and conquered the establishment of a rapport with teachers, students, and parents by being approachable, trustworthy, and committed to my responsibilities.
Lawson Cook
Responsibilities: My responsibilities include public speaking at events such as ANZAC Ceremonies, Awards Night and other school events. Attending student council meetings to organise fundraising events, school socials, to discuss concerns within the student body and to bring issues to the attention of the school leaders.
Reason for taking up the role and opportunities: I have been a student representative since year 7 and have enjoyed representing my student body. I decided to run for school captain to represent my school community by helping peers, acting as role models, and implementing positive change, while gaining valuable leadership development opportunities like improving communication, teamwork, problem-solving, and public speaking skills.

Mt Gravatt State High School
Islam Ali
Responsibilities: Captaincy is being an advocate for students and a liaison between students and faculty. At times that means making a speech at assembly, and sometimes it’s simply just showing up for someone who just needs to be heard.
Reason for taking up the role and opportunities: I wanted to repay an institution that has shaped me. The position has exposed me to doors I never thought were there, from encounters with community leaders to witnessing the power a simple conversation can yield. Reminding me that leadership is not about title, but about the difference you make in the lives around you.
Skills to develop as captain: This position is teaching me to lead with courage, to listen with patience, and to balance conviction with humility. These are lessons I’ll carry long after school.
After school goals: Outside school, I hope to continue to serve my communities and hone my abilities in my preferred profession of law and political science. I hope to build a future of service and justice. Howsoever it is, I want it to be guided by purpose and service.
How being school captain feels: It feels thrilling and humbling, a reminder that leadership is not offered with a badge but with daily action. I would also describe it like holding a lantern in darkness: the light is not mine, but for a moment I have the privilege of holding it up high, guiding others while they recall the light they already have.
Jack Webb
Responsibilities: As a school captain we represent the students’ voice, help organise events, and work to foster a positive and inclusive school culture.
Reason for taking up the role and opportunities: Being school captain has been a great opportunity to develop my leadership skills and give back to my school community. It’s a chance to step up and ensure that the ideas and concerns of every student are heard and valued, helping to make our school an even better place for everyone.
Skills to develop as captain: Over the past year, I feel I have grown both personally, and as a leader. I’m continuously improving my public speaking, communicating and problem-solving skills. I believe being a good leader means being a good listener and a good team player, so I’m aiming to hone those skills and learn how to navigate challenges with a positive and empathetic approach.
After school goals: After school I plan on going to University, I’m still deciding between a few different pathways, but I’m interested in doing a Justice or Education degree.
How being school captain feels: This role is a huge honour and a great responsibility, but it’s also fun and rewarding. The feeling of being able to give back to the school community that’s given so much to me is incredible. Knowing that I’m helping to shape the future of our school fills me with pride, and I’ll be forever grateful for this opportunity.
Brisbane State High School
Lachlan Anning
Responsibilities: Trying to be a visible presence and a number one supporter of all things State High. I have to uphold our values and support the prefects but also have fun and help everyone to have fun in this final year of school.
Reason for taking up the role and opportunities: I really wanted to challenge myself, I love this school and I wanted to make a difference. There was a school captain a few years ago that I really looked up to and I wanted to be visible and help the younger grades just like he did.
Skills I have developed as captain: Knowing when to lead but also when to follow. How to run a meeting effectively Being authoritative but also supporting.
After school goals: To become an engineer and play challenging rugby
How being school captain feels: It is a responsibility but also a fun one, I am very visible but I don’t feel pressure to change who I am for the role.
Lily Dutkowski
Reason for taking up the role and opportunities: As a student who has been heavily involved in the BSHS community since I’ve started, I feel passionate about giving back to the groups that have built my confidence, and helped me form connections with my peers. Entering the role as Prefect last year, a particular goal of the team was to build engagement with junior students. With the support of the entire Prefect team, I was able to help establish community between the seniors and juniors, which is something I find vital to a positive high school experience.
Skills to develop as captain: My communication skills have definitely been expanded, mostly in understanding my audience, and using points of common interest to engage people from all backgrounds and experiences. These have been developed through my work Chairing the Prefect meetings, and co-ordinating the Junior Leader involvement in events. Collaborating with leaders in all contexts has meant that I can be a more effective and involved captain this year.
After school goals: My plan is to study a Bachelor of International Studies at UQ, and work in International Diplomacy post-uni.
How being school captain feels: I’m excited by the involvement and positivity we’ve already received by the school, and so grateful for the opportunity to lead the Brisbane State High Prefect Team in 2025!
Anna Robbins
Responsibilities: As a vice-captain at Brisbane State High School, I have the opportunity to help lead the Prefect team, collaborate with the other captains, and foster school spirit. As captains, we also take on the responsibility to serve our wider community, fundraising for local charities such as the Open Doors Youth Service with the Prefect team. At State High, we have a diverse community of over 3500 students coming from different backgrounds, cultures, and parts of Brisbane. While this shows how State High represents the best of the public education system, it becomes hard to create unity unless we help lift our peers every day. As vice-captain, I committed to not leading by standing at the front, but by helping uplift our community as a whole.
Reason for taking up the role and opportunities: I never initially planned to become a captain. However, I really love my school community and am grateful for the countless opportunities I have enjoyed since year 7. Because of this, I had always wanted to give back to State High. Therefore, I had always wanted to be part of the Prefect team to help organise events that engage and strengthen our school community. Becoming vice-captain has not only allowed me to be part of and collaborate with the Prefect team, but also gave me the further opportunity to support and uplift our team to work together to serve our community.
Skills to develop as captain: Being a captain requires collaboration, respect, and the ability to communicate with your peers. However, I think there are also 2 other key skills that are important. Firstly, I believe that the ability to understand and consider different perspectives is essential. Becoming a leadership group of listeners means that we can understand the needs of the student body, learn how best to engage with different individuals, and embrace the breadth of our diverse community. Secondly, as a captain, I think it is also important to check in with others in your community and your team. In particular with the Prefect team, year 12 is already the busiest year in terms of assessment. Therefore, it is important to check in with the team to make sure they are balancing their year 12 life with their leadership. This means we can support one another and ensure we are also having fun!
After school goals: In the future, I hope to pursue a career in law or work in policy in government. My interests were definitely shaped by my experiences in Queensland Youth Parliament. Therefore, next year I would love to begin a Law double degree to support these aspirations. Beyond academics, one of my goals is to keep enjoying my passions for the arts. At State High, the dance and music communities I was part of helped fulfil and support my hobbies, allowing me to easily share what I love with my friends. After leaving school, I hope to continue these passions by finding seeking out new communities, including opportunities like a university orchestra.
How being school captain feels: It is such an honour and a privilege to represent and help lead our school. State High is a public system family of amazing athletes, musicians, and artists. I feel extremely lucky to be able to contribute to creating a positive school culture that is inclusive to every student.
Zhexi Teng
Reason for taking up the role and opportunities: Each year, Brisbane State High’s leadership teams are driven to create an inclusive and unifying culture for its students, and to positively influence the wider community around us. That mission deeply resonated with me, and I endeavoured to action those goals throughout my term.
Responsibilities: Under the guidance of our co-ordinator, we have managed to fundraise thousands of dollars through engaging school events, and contribute to the community around us through projects like the Toy Drive and Spring Stumps.
Skills to develop as captain: Working with a fantastic team like this year’s Prefects has taught me a great deal about leadership. One of the biggest skills I’ve developed though has been effective team collaboration; I’ve witnessed first-hand how much easier and efficiently projects go when responsibilities are clearly delegated and there is strong trust and rapport between leaders. I will miss working with them dearly!
After school goals: I would like to take a Doctor of Medicine postgraduate degree at UQ, although I haven’t selected an undergraduate quite yet! I hope to also continue coaching and volunteering for State High’s debating program.
How being school captain feels: Honestly, not super different; sometimes I forget I’m a vice-captain. At the end of the day, all State High students are equally driven to serve the school and better our community. I am immensely grateful for my friend’s and cohort’s support throughout this year.
Indooroopilly State High School
Arianna Camacho
Responsibilities: So some of the main things that we do is, first, we speak on assemblies and then also, we have be able to help with the events that our school runs and projects that our school is running as well. And also, mainly this year, I’ve been supporting other captains with some of their projects as well.
Reason for taking up the role and opportunities: I’ve been at Indooroopilly since grade seven, and I’ve always looked up to a leadership role, even since primary school. So I’ve always kind of had this ambition to have a position in the leadership team. I also really liked the idea of developing my leadership skills and the school helped a lot with that. Last year after we got selected for our roles, we got to go on a leadership trip to Tasmania.
Skills to develop as captain: Definitely public speaking, because now I can speak often without something in front of a room of 3000 people, which is not something many people can say that they’ve done before. Also a lot of time management and understanding the magnitude of my responsibilities. I’m not only the face of the school, but I also have to actually represent the school in the way that I do things every day, and values that I display.
After school goals: I’ve actually received a letter of offer for a position in the navy as a nuclear submarine officer.
How being school captain feels: It’s actually a heartwarming feeling. Sometimes kids come up to me during breaks and stuff, or they just come and ask me say like, ‘oh, you’re the school captain – how are you?’ And I get to have a good chat with them. The recognition is quite nice, because then I get to know a lot more people.
Miles Blanksby
Responsibilities: So definitely it’s been assemblies and a lot of running school events. I think another thing is facilitating dialogue between the captains and the different groups of the school in terms of projects and in terms of events.
Reason for taking up the role and opportunities: I took the role because I love having the ability, or privilege to be able to listen to what people are saying and sort of bring it to the bigger table and talk about those issues that people are talking about on, I guess, a higher level.
Skills to develop as captain: Teamwork has definitely been a big one. I think a lot of us can be quite ‘we have an idea, we want to do it that way,’ and it’s a lot of compromise. Also of course, public speaking as well.
After school goals: I’ve been auditioning around and I hope to do acting and musical theatre next year.
How being school captain feels: It feels really good. Like Ariana said, it’s just like little things around the school where people just give you a smile, give you a wave, you know, say something to you and that is really sweet and really nice.
