During the opening assembly, badges were handed out to San Clemente’s 2019 Leadership Team including the four School Captains: Audrey Waugh, Caitlin Cashmere, Angus O’Connor and Lachlan James.
“I would like to share the following quote with you from James Thurbe,” said Principal of San Clemente, Bernard Burgess, during the assembly.
“There are two kinds of light—the glow that illuminates and the glare that obscures.
“Today, my challenge to students is to choose which light to strive for.”
