College Captains 2025

Mary Cavenett and Serena Cunningham

We want to extend our warmest welcome to the students, staff, families and wider community of Clonard. As your college Captains for 2025, we are optimistic for the year of Hospitality that lies ahead, visualizing the unity of the College, through the promotion of open, encounter and transform. Whether it involves displaying open hearts through taking care of unfamiliar faces or opening our minds to new perspectives. These mindsets progress us to encounter opportunities that may test our faith, resilience and perseverance throughout the year. Ultimately assisting us to transform our thoughts, beliefs and attitudes to a better approach in our learning.

For 2025, the year of hospitality, we are honoured to be working alongside, and to be supported by, such a diverse range of student leaders. We strongly believe that leadership is not about wearing a badge or thinking that your position puts you above your peers, but instead, it is about utilising the opportunity to implement positive and powerful changes into the community. In tandem with the 2025 leadership team, we have so much hope for the year of leadership ahead of us, and the initiatives that are already starting to blossom.

We are proud to acknowledge that Clonard is more than just a facility for education and extends to be a place where both students and teachers are presented with endless opportunities. With the unconditional support of the College community, we are honoured to say that after our five full years at Clonard, it has been prominent with shaping our identity as young independent women.
