MONARO High School’s new student leaders for 2025 are excited to create positive opportunities for their fellow students.

School captains Natasha Kelly and Alistair King and vice captains Jenika Chotar Kent and Alexi Alcock have all been students at Monaro High School since Year 7 and are proud to have been voted in as leaders for next year.

“I really want to give back to the school,” Alistair said.

“It has given me lots of great opportunities and I want to make sure they continue for younger students too.”

Natasha said she is keen to develop her leadership skills through the role.

“I want to help students to enjoy their time at school, because I know not everyone likes it. I want to make it a better place.”

Alexi’s brother was School Captain at Monaro High School in 2022, so he is looking forward to taking on the challenge as well.

Jenika said she is looking forward to being a voice for the students and wants to create positive change at the school.

Monaro High School Principal Jai Lester said he believes these students will be effective leaders.

“I have been impressed with how quickly the leadership group have begun to advocate for the students at Monaro High School, with a range of exciting ideas of how students can be better represented at the school,” Mr Lester said.

“They are a diligent, committed group of young people who have already proven themselves at outstanding leaders, and will no doubt continue to do so in their year as school captains.”
