The newly-announced school captains at Collie Senior High School have planned to look out for all students and teachers throughout 2017.
Connor Watts and Chloe Garner have served on the Student Council since Year 8.
The pair also served as School Prefects before applying for the school captain positions.
“I wanted to be school captain ever since I got to high school, I have been a student councillor since Year 8 so I’ve watched it every year and it seems like an awesome role and it looks good on your resume as well,” Chloe said.
“I’ve been at Collie for the past four years as well on the student council so we’ve both just been there the whole time, watching the older kids do it and so we aspired to do the same thing,” Connor said.
The two assisted the student council with leadership activities and fundraising events for the school.
They said the student council’s work has showcased the students’ cooperation and dedication.
The pair have focused on getting more students involved in the student council as well as the swimming and athletics carnivals.
“We’re one of the few schools that actually have swimming carnivals and cross country [events] and all that so we want to keep that still going and keep kids going to them because it’s one of the great things about Collie Senior High School,” he said.
The pair are also studying for ATAR and volunteering as part of the 2017 Anzac Tour of Vietnam and Cambodia.
Connor and Chloe said the school is a positive environment for students and staff.
Chloe said they would like to show more people how active and engaged Collie kids can be.
“Every town will have kids that don’t do stuff but come and we’ll show you all the cool places and we’ll show you the cool things that Collie has to offer because it’s quite unique with what it has with its rivers and lakes, our ski lakes, our skate park is really popular as well so that’s cool,” she said.
Chloe enjoys playing netball, playing guitar and hanging out with friends. She is looking to study primary school teaching at ECU Bunbury.
Connor plays a variety of sports in his spare time, planning to get into sports science or sports teaching.
