21 participants from across the Eyre Peninsula took part in Residential II of the Regional Leadership Development Program held in Wudinna over two days in late June. Facilitated by Sarah Prime (Champions Academy), on behalf of RDAEP, leaders left with an abundance of knowledge and inspiration. Day 1 saw the participants engage in a keynote followed by a Q&A session with one of Australia’s most in-demand speakers, Bernard Salt. Participants were also provided with information and statistics that would help challenge and apply their thinking for the remainder of the day, followed by a casual dinner in the evening, providing a great networking opportunity for all involved.
On day 2 of the program, the participants were joined by 2 cohorts of students from Wudinna and Karcultaby Area Schools, taking part in a survivor style game. Invited to challenge their thinking and work together in teams, participants and students were put into fast thinking situations. With high stakes on the line (winning) Champions Academy staff, RDAEP staff, Bendigo Bank Representative, David Stoeckel and school staff were on the look out for groups working together, challenging their thinking and working outside the box. The enthusiasm from both students and participants was high as they worked through challenges and changed roles within their groups. After a quick vote at the end of the session, Wudinna students in team ‘Pinkie Pie’ took out the win for the day.
Program participants will continue their online learning and will come together again for Residential III in late August.
