College Captains join discussion with SA Chief Public Health Officer

02.09.20

Director of Catholic Education SA, Dr Neil McGoran was contacted last week and asked to select 3-4 students from Catholic secondary schools in South Australia to be involved in a Microsoft Teams chat with Chief Public Health Officer Professor Nicola Spurrier. Our College Captains, Ethan Herpich and Jessica Snell were fortunate to chat with Professor Spurrier after our College was selected from 37 Catholic secondary schools in the state!


Professor Spurrier was enthusiastic to discuss Year 12, schoolies, end of year celebrations (ceremonies, graduation, final assemblies) in these ‘COVID-19 times’, with a sample of young people from across all of the schooling sectors in SA to understand their perspectives,

Professor Spurrier wanted to speak to approximately ten Year 12 students from across the state - with 4 students from Catholic Schools, 3 from Government schools and 3 from Independent schools.

There was a range of young people talking to Professor Spurrier from both metro and regional locations, and varying socio-economic status schools.
