With students freshly settled into the new school year, the next generation of young leaders has been recognised in Weipa.
Western Cape College (WCC) congratulated its top students at the annual Leadership Badge Ceremony on 18 February.
Student leaders from the Weipa campus, Mapoon campus, and boarding campus proudly showed off their shiny badges as college principal Dan Tonon, secondary associate principal Jarrod Prakelt, primary associate principal Amanda Allender, Mapoon head of campus Ryan Grayson, and head of boarding Leigh Allender looked on proudly.
“Each badge represents far more than a title; it symbolises trust, responsibility, and the courage to step forward and serve others,” a WCC spokesperson said.
“These students have already shown dedication, character, and a genuine commitment to making a difference.
“We are so proud of you, and we cannot wait to see the positive impact you will make across our college community.
“Western Cape College also proudly acknowledges our Year 12 Class of 2026. As they begin their final year of schooling, we look forward to watching them embrace every opportunity and lead with confidence.”
