Module 1 – Kapooka
me as a leader and a member of the wslp
Module one was held at Army Recruit Training
Centre Kapooka. The day began with a welcome
and leadership briefing from Commandant Colonel
Stephen Jobson. Students wore army fatigues and
undertook physical and problem solving activities.
The group also joined the Army Recruits for lunch.
This was a day thoroughly enjoyed by all students.

Student Quotes:
“The first Module was at the Army Recruit Training
Centre Kapooka and it was one of the best
experiences and challenges that I have ever faced.
I gained a lot of confidence and new friends from
this day” – Billy Nicholson (Mater Dei Catholic
College).
“The day at Kapooka and The Hume Hovell Walking
Track gave us an opportunity to put our leadership
skills that we have learnt so far into practice. These
were great exercises to see how each person took
on the role and what type of leadership style they
adopted. This has been an extremely rewarding
experience and I really encourage future students
to put their hand up and get involved. It is such
an amazing program with wonderful people and
it is something that will stick with me for the rest
of my life!” – Molly McMullen (Mater Dei Catholic
College).
“The Wagga School Leaders Program has enabled
me to develop my confidence and leadership skills.
Each module had different challenges that took
me out of my comfort zone. We weren’t given the
opportunity to hold back or shy away which brought
out our individual leadership styles.
I am extremely grateful to have had this opportunity
and definitely would recommend this program
to future Year 11 students as it was such a great
experience with amazing people that I will never
forget” – Carly Salmon (Mater Dei Catholic College)
