College Captains

I want to get involved in the behind-the-scenes work that builds our school community. I want to ensure that I am true to the people I represent, bringing forward any issues they want changed. I cannot wait to see what else the year has to offer and I am ready to face the challenges it brings head-on. Issy Byrne

A key focus for 2026 is to strengthen the connection between both campuses. This is off to a great start with the introduction of buddies between Year 7s and 12s, as well as cross-campus trips to exchange ideas with all leaders. Becoming a Eucharistic Minister during Opening Mass and handing out pancakes for Caritas on Shrove Tuesday, have been some awesome experiences thus far. Sam Gibson

Faith Captains

I believe that when students feel connected and inspired, they are more likely to get involved and make a difference. I want to help students grow in faith, confidence, and compassion. I am especially enthusiastic about social justice, service, and encouraging students to live out the Mercy values in meaningful ways. Throughout this year, I hope to inspire students to see faith as active and relevant in everyday life. Rose McSweeney

reGEN Captains

As a reGEN Captain, a major goal this year is to educate students about sustainability and caring for our common home. Being a leader isn’t about the title, it’s about being willing to make positive change and talking with those around you about how to achieve it. Diana Napoleon

I want to build on the efforts of previous leaders in raising awareness about sustainability and environmental issues within our community. I hope to increase awareness of our school’s environmental impact and act with students and staff towards reducing our footprint and meeting these challenges. Tobias Sexton

Sport and Community Captains

As Sports and Community Captains, we want to create a school culture where every student feels supported, confident and inspired to try out new things. We are planning for lunchtime activities, friendly competitions and community-driven events that increase participation and build a powerful sense of belonging. Above all, we hope to strengthen school spirit and pride in our community. Charlize Pinder and Zain Al-Rawi

Arts Captains

We intend to foster the arts at CMCB this year by organising and promoting events, creating artistic opportunities, encouraging student participation, showcasing artwork and performances, and building a bridge between campuses through the arts. We aim to support students and make the arts accessible and valued. Rory Thompson and Sophie Gurung

House Captains

As Backhaus Captain, I aim to make the Year 12 cohort a tight group and support other year levels with bonding and getting to know each other better. I hope to put lots of time and effort into my role, to maximise House Cup participation whilst balancing the work of Year 12. Getting to know the other leaders and helping run major College events is extremely rewarding. Jack Oldham

I am keen to be a voice for other students. We have started to engage well with Coolock students, and plan to continue this through the year. A highlight so far has been organising and running fun events at our recent Year 12 Retreat. I hope together we can win the House Cup for Djaara! Milla Sherriff

I was involved with leadership through Years 10 and 11 and want to make a lasting impact this year. I aim to lead my house to the House Cup. We are off to a good start, with MacKillop winning the house day during Year 7 Connect Week. Go MacKillop! Charlie Bombardieri

Inspired by previous CMCB leaders, I chose to be a leader because it gives me an opportunity speak up and be a voice for my peers. I am passionate about including everyone and making sure CMCB is a community where everyone feels they belong. My goal is to create a positive, memorable year for Vincent members, and hopefully lead Vincent to the House Cup win! Zaidee Khong
