Introducing Lucca De Almeida- NSW SES Cadet of the Year

Lucca De Almeida receiving his award.

On Monday 25th February we were proud to recognise Year 11 student Lucca De Almeida who is NSW SES Cadet of the Year. At Monday’s assembly a short ceremony was held. Guests included Sue Brown- SES Cadet Coordinator, NSW Northern Zone, John Ludlow, SES NSW Lismore Unit Commander, Janet Pettit, NSW SES Community Capability Coordinator and David Webber, NSW Community Capability Coordinator.

The award recognised the outstanding capabilities and achievements Lucca demonstrated when completing his SES Cadetship at MHS last year. The Cadet program includes areas such as effective communication, teamwork, safety and principles of emergency management.  Lucca was recognised above all other cadets in NSW for his high level of accomplishment in those areas. Normally Lucca would have received his award at NSW government house but as he was about to leave to study for a year Brazil,  the award ceremony came to us at Mullumbimby High School.

Lucca was nominated by his NSW SES trainer Sue brown, who explained that Lucca had shown leadership, empathy and emotional and intellectual maturity throughout the program. He had displayed commitment to volunteering and demonstrated confidence in communication, leadership, relationship management and problem solving. Lucca is an outstanding member of our school community and we congratulate him on his achievement. We also wish him well on his exchange visit overseas and look forward to his return to MHS in 2020.
