Plumpton has a long-standing partnership with UNSW with a group of Year 11 students participated in the UNSW Gateway Leaders Program recently. The day began with a leadership workshop run by UNSW Gateway University Ambassadors called “Who am I as a leader?” Students explored individual values, purpose and passions for social impact and explored the kind of leader they want to become.
The second workshop was run by the incredible Jo O’Reilly, who asked our student's “How do we communicate with purpose?”. Jo is an accomplished professional speaker, former comedian and has worked extensively with UNSW and the AGSM to develop leadership skills and potential in all kinds of people. Jo’s workshop is a practical and inspiring workshop that explores what it means to have a leadership presence that aligns with your values and purpose. Students were reminded that leaders do not always have to have the loudest voice and that we all have leadership potential.
Thank you to UNSW for enabling Plumpton High to be a UNSW Gateway partner school. For more information about the opportunities and academic support that are offered to students to UNSW Gateway partner schools, visit their website here: UNSW Gateway | Early Admission Pathway | UNSW Sydney
