LEONGATHA Primary School (LPS) held their School Captains and Leaders Presentation last Thursday, awarding students new roles and responsibilities within the schools.
The assembly was opened with students, teachers and parents singing the National Anthem. 
This was followed by a message from Wil Dawson, North Melbourne AFL player who attended Leongatha Primary School and has worked with the students over the past year.
The incoming captains and leaders received sage advice at the assembly, which was, to make a positive change, show up, speak up and advocate for others, look up and around to make improvements, never give up and lift other people up. 
The new grade six captains for LPS are Siiri Roberts, Piper Holt, Charlotte Willis and Ryan Perry. 
Johnston House Captains are Reggie Read and Billy Fleming, Herrald House Captains are Georgia Rump and Mia Bickel, Wightman House Captains are Milla McCarthy, Ollie Bolge and Brody Jarvis while Strzelecki House Captains are Jaya Dowel and Arky Cameron.
