History of CCN Leaders

2025 - Addisyn McCrudden and Isabella De Santus - While outside factors impacted a vote for new leaders in 2024, Addisyn and Lincoln maintained leadership until 2025, when Lincoln was unable to run again, being in Year 11. Isabella was voted in as Vice President and stepped up from the News Director position.

2023 - Addisyn McCrudden and Lincoln Spencer - Addisyn has managed to jump from temporary Co-News Director and was voted in as President, while Lincoln has made a tradition of the Spencers being part of the CCN Leadership team by being voted in as Vice President. 

2022 - Zahra Whitley & Ben Whission - With things starting to get back to normal, COVID-19 still limited some activities at the start of the year; however, by the end of the year, the CCN team was in full swing.

2021* - Zahra Whitley & Mitchell Thomas - *Voting for new leaders was changed from the start of Term 4 to the end of Term 2. This meant that Mitchell could no longer serve a leadership role so his term as Vice President was cut short. 

2021 - Mitchell Thomas & Connor Curran - 2020 was a very strange year, with COVID-19 having an effect on the way things are done. This also included CCN with things they have done in the past, the school was ready to live-stream events and was in a great position to support the school. Term 4 is when voting is held for positions in CCN, also in line with Ben Spencer starting his last year at school, so he was unable to be elected due to club rules. Mitchell was re-elected as President, and Connor, who ran for vice president in 2020, was able to get enough votes this year. 

2020 - Mitchell Thomas & Ben Spencer - After Ben reached year 11 one of the club rules is that you can't be President if you're in Year 11 so Ben decided to run for Vice President with a close result between Ben and Jackson, with Ben being successful by 2 votes. Mitchell was a clear winner for President and has been a keen member since he was in Year 7. Jackson has started a new area of CCN called Promotions allowing him to continue creating advertisements for CCN and promote different areas of the school.

2019 - Ben Spencer & Jackson Reale - 2019 was the busiest year CCN have seen to date with special projects such as going to the Campbelltown Catholic Club to do a live show and present to 16 other dioceses. The club also did a live cross to the CeDow from the STEM fair at Corpus allowing those at the CeDOW being able to see not only what CCN do but also showcase the work the students have been doing in STEM. "CCN News" was halted to establish a better format with the intention to launch again in 2020.  

2018 - Ben Spencer & Jackson Reale - Jackson was voted in as Vice President while he had been a member since 2015 members could see how keen Jackson was to be a leader. Ben was voted in as President as the spot was vacated by Jack allowing Jack more time to concentrate on a new project. The project Jack worked on was to establish after a lot of research in the previous year, a news program called "CCN News". Even the name took a lot of research. The first news program was aired at a showcase to great success with following showcases getting the news aired and students looking forward to the news program, especially the Batman segment which brought some comedy to a current news item. 

2017 - Jack Hahn & Ben Spencer - While it was business as usual with activities such as filming showcases etc. One such expansion idea was Jack Hahn wanted to create a news program so he researched a format that would work with a lot of things learnt that year the News program did not make it to air that year. 

2016 - Jack Hahn & Ben Spencer - Patrik Perkovic, Adam Sarin being the founding members they finished schooling that year so they didn't get to see much of the club they established. CCN however was left in good hands with Jack who started in the club in 2015 when he was in year 7 and Ben in 2016 when he was in year 7 have continued to improve and expand the club's activities. 

2015 - Patrik Perkovic, Adam Sarin & Jack Hahn - The video club was given the green light by the then Principal Mrs Piatek and equipment was purchased later that year. The students established the club rules and the club name. Corpus Christi Network or CCN for short was born. 

2014 - Patrik Perkovic - Patrik was responsible for the establishment of a video club. Patrik spent almost a year learning to write a business proposal and researching the equipment required to get the club up and running.
