Salesian Schools' Leadership Conference. 18-20 March, 2011

Salesian Schools' Leadership Conference. 18-20 March, 2011

Students from the Year 10 and 11 Councils attended the Schools' Leadership Conference at the Salesian retreat centre at Savio House, Bollington, Cheshire. This was the second time this academic year that the six Salesian schools from across England had met and the weekend allowed the students to continue to develop the work of their ‘student voice’.

 

The 38 students worked in mixed groups of boys and girls form all of the schools. They reviewed the various initiatives that each had carried forward through their respective school councils and discussed matters which they hoped to bring forward.

 

There was plenty of time for recreation and the Farnborough boys enjoyed meeting their counterparts from Battersea, Chertsey, Liverpool and Bolton. Many of them had stayed in touch since the last conference and these friendships are a real feature of the gatherings.

 

There was a full programme on the Saturday which ended with a short but thoughtful Mass in the chapel at Savio House. On Sunday, the students reflected upon the many ideas that had been discussed and held a ceremony of commitment towards the Salesian Schools' Student Voice Charter which they had formulated.

 

After lunch and extensive farewells the conference ended and the groups departed to their various towns and cities with the realisation for many that they are part of genuine community of Salesian schools and that they can learn a lot from each other. Many thanks to Father Jim Gallagher SDB and Mr Kevin Regan (Deputy Head, Salesian College, Battersea) for planning and leading the weekend.

 

The Farnborough group were: Thomas Rose, Daniel Rose, Hamish Beck, Dylan White, George Coe, William Booth, Mr A White and Mr A Moore.
