Student Leadership: Urban Quest
31 March
Student Representative Council (SRC) students participated in the Urban Quest in Melbourne, engaging in a day of leadership, problem-solving and teamwork.
Working in teams, students navigated the city while completing a series of challenges that required initiative, communication and collaboration. Throughout the day, students demonstrated strong support for one another, stepping into leadership roles and representing Damascus College with pride.
A special congratulations to Team 2, who achieved first place on the day and an outstanding fifth place overall in the history of the competition across all participating schools. This result was achieved by College Captain Harvey Wilson, Lucy Gravell, Jessica James, Chloe Valentine and Thomas Shillito, whose teamwork and determination were evident across each challenge.
Team 3 also delivered a strong performance, finishing a close second for Damascus College. Well done to Will Busutill, Lachlan Reus, Declan Newman, Ivy Storey and College Captain Sadie Jones for their commitment and collaboration throughout the day.
The experience provided students with an opportunity to apply their leadership skills in a dynamic and unfamiliar environment, reinforcing the importance of teamwork, adaptability and shared responsibility.
