Dylan said he looked forward to representing the college at formal occasions, from Anzac Day services to addressing fellow students.
Charli said she had always aspired to be school captain because she wanted to create positive change and leave a lasting legacy at the school.
“As school captain, I want to help strengthen the connection between our primary and senior students so we can feel part of one big school community,” she said.
She said she hoped to achieve this through the school’s buddy program, where younger students are paired with older students to help support them in their schooling journey.
