JJAMM Sydney 2022 Report from College Captain Angus and College Vice Captain Siala:

Last week, we had the privilege accompanied by Mr. Knobel attending the 2022 JJAMM Leadership Conference in Sydney run by Sr Jan Barnett and Karen Oxley from the sisters of Saint Joseph. We were joined by College Captains and Senior Leaders from other Josephite Schools in NSW. Our experience began with a day of sightseeing, prior to the beginning of JJAMM, we visited Circular Quay for Lunch, walked around the Sydney Opera House, visited Manly on the ferry for the afternoon, concluding with delicious Thai at a restaurant, which was just a brisk walk from Mary Mackillop Place. The conference began at Mary Mackillop Place, North Sydney learning about Mary Mackillop in the place where she worked, lived, and now lays to rest in the tomb in the Chapel. The conference continued at St Joseph’s Baulkham Hills.

We were blessed with the opportunity to collaborate with other captains and build our leadership together as one charism. We learnt what it means to truly be a Josephite, what issues are important to us how we can act on them and how we can bring our passions into our leadership for the greater good. The last day was an emotional time as we had all bonded so well together, we were all sad to be going our separate ways, but there was a mutual understanding that we were all going back to our schools to put our plans into action. It was truly a privileged and motivational experience.

We will both be forever grateful for the privilege in attending this amazing conference, we would like to express a huge thank to Mr. Knobel for accompanying us on the trip and everything he did for us, it was amazing, and you made sure everything was look after! Also, a huge thank you to Mr Caldow, Mr Dullard, and Mrs Fry for the amazing opportunity to attend JJAMM 2022 in Sydney as well as organising everything for us prior to our departure to Sydney!
