Applying for head girl

When I was told that I had been nominated for Head Girl I was, naturally, overjoyed. Many people told me that it was an excellent opportunity and would aid me in later life. Although I agree with this and acknowledge the fact that I would benefit immensely from it, this is not the reason why I initially aspired to this post. Despite the protestations that seem to accompany anything related to school, I have come to realise that we are extremely privileged to receive a brilliant education and have many people to thank. I believe that we should try to give something back to the school, if not to take action in our ‘thank you’, but to provide younger students with the beneficial support that we had. Becoming head girl would mean that I was able to give back to the school and if I could help in any way I would feel that I had accomplished a great achievement.

i believe that I am suited to the role of Head Girl. Over the last four years that I have spent at Park School I have learnt many things including responsibility, hard work, commitment and confidence. Not only have I earned the grades that I have strived to achieve; I have also enjoyed myself, something that I believe to be of great importance. I believe that enjoyment is a key element in the experience of school and if you are content and happy in your working environment than you will naturally work harder and put more effort into both school work and extra-curricular activities. I would try my hardest to make sure that younger members of our school were able to enjoy themselves in an environment where they can learn and socialise. I am also an active member of a number of clubs and activities outside of school. I have contributed to teaching the lower school through the P.S.E Drama program. Using Forum Theatre, we address the issues that surround many young adults and help them to understand how to deal with them. Not only has this improved my confidence but I feel that many students have benefitted
