Upon nomination to lead the collaboration that was to be the 2015 CCSC Yearbook I had no idea what I was in for. I should have heeded the wise words to start as early as possible from Sally (2014 Yearbook) and Gavin (2013 inaugural Yearbook).
Underestimating the task ahead resulted in a crazy whirlwind for myself and a group of Year 10 students collecting photos and information on the year that was 2015. Thankfully the final result was a publication everyone involved in could be proud of.
Being asked to take charge of the publication again in 2016 wasn’t something I had wished for, however with lessons learnt from last year the task was to be approached very differently. The goal was to have Year 10 students nominate themselves to form the 2016 Yearbook committee. Posters were hung asking for applications for each of the jobs described. Thankfully there was some interest and all positions were filled.

There is a quote from Craig Groeschel, a speaker at a Global Leadership Summit that states;
‘If you delegate tasks, you create followers. If you delegate authority, you create leaders.’
I have great faith in this group of students and have no doubt the publication they produce will give a fantastic snapshot of this innovative organisation which we are all lucky to be part of.
