There’s perhaps no better way to end the preliminary year than with the Prefect Camp. From the 23-25th of September, the newly elected Prefects of 2018-2019 were able to experience a well-developed leadership camp that was, to put simply, absolutely incredible. Our newly elected prefect body was fortunate enough to experience this incredibly educational and inspiring camp, which by the time we left, had a significant impact on each one of us.

Photos from the camp can be found on the School's Facebook Photo Section.

The camp was a great introduction into the task of maintaining a healthy school image and promoting the values of Homebush Boys to the community and beyond. We had accomplished this through a series of team building exercises that had challenged us at both individual and team levels. Throughout the course of the camp, it was prevalent that our prefect body was lacking in some team based areas. Camp coordinator, Ian Bradburn ‘Braddy’, helped us realise and work on our weaknesses while building a ‘Prefect Toolbox’ which had, by the time we completed the camp, displayed the various essential skills that we needed as a prefect body.

The year 10 Boys did their spot on cooking challenge round in their food technology practicals with only two ingredients, " Bread & Eggs". The boys did their planning within 10 minutes and produced one dish. This task enabled students to manage their time and available resources in order to produce and display a food product. Students also focused on their planning, Hygiene and safe cooking methods. The task created interest among students and involved each and every student to participate and work cooperatively.

In the two years since he came to Sydney from Hanoi, Vietnam, Duy Quang has become a highly respected leader in the local community. An avid volunteer, the 16-year-old Homebush Boys High School student has earned praise for his compassionate and giving nature, and become an exceptional role model for other students. Duy Quang teaches English to younger students, assists Year 7 students via the Peer Support Program, and has been instrumental in the recently formed Social Justice Club, which sees students advocate and fundraise for important issues such as gender equality and refugee rights. The broader Homebush community has benefited from Duy Quang’s participation in the NSW State Conference for UN Youth Australia, his volunteer work at the local Salvos Store, and his work with the Interact Club, a school-based Rotary club that helps with community fundraising initiatives. In his spare time, the Year 10 student loves to practice his art and photography. “I think every small moment in life is captivating, and I want to capture them,” he says.
