Student Leadership Conference 2007 “Journey to Inspire” INFORMATION FOR SCHOOLS The Alliance of Girls’ Schools will again conduct the Student Leadership Conference in 2007 (SLC2007). The conference will take place from 17 – 21 January at Penrhos College, Como, Western Australia. Delegates will be accommodated at the school and the school’s facilities will be used for most conference activities. Penrhos College is located a few kilometres south of the city of Perth. SLC2007 will take the form of a multilayered journey of self exploration. Through initiative activities and challenges, performances and creative work, involving buddies, group work and individual reflection, the girls will look at leadership from an emotional, social and intellectual perspective. The conference program will include formal presentations, outdoor challenges, workshop activities and keynote speakers. Reflection and journal writing will be an integral part of the program and delegates will have the chance to nominate and address issues of special concern to them. As well, there will be opportunities for leisure activities and for delegates to participate in discussions with former school leaders and with current leaders in the adult world. There will also be a formal conference dinner. The maximum number of students we can accommodate at the conference is 110. Therefore we have to limit the number attending from any one school to 2 DELEGATES. The students attending the conference should be entering their last year of secondary school in 2007 and be your KEY 2007 STUDENT LEADERS. How to Apply To register your school and the attendance of 1 or 2 student leaders at the 2007 Student Leadership Conference: Download and complete the online School Registration Form. Registration and Payment must be received by Monday 18 September, 2006 to guarantee your place. Although you may not know the name of your leaders for 2007 by that date, it is essential that you make a commitment to sending one or two students; if your eventual chosen School Captain and Deputy are unable to attend, you may send other members of your student leadership team. Please note that the conference is residential and it is important that delegates are available for the entire conference. Students who cannot attend the entire conference due to other commitments will not be accepted. After you receive confirmation of registration for your school and your student(s), and when your student leaders are known, two forms for each student must be submitted to the Alliance by Friday 27 October 2006 or as soon as your delegates are identified. These are AGSA Delegate Registration Form and OB Personal Medical Declaration. It is important that these details are received as soon as possible because it becomes very difficult when students leave school at the end of the year. Because these forms require signatures, they will need to be downloaded and faxed or mailed to the Alliance Office when complete.
