Why did you want to be a Head Student?

As someone who has joined St Peter’s four years ago, the school has taught me a lot as a person, the community is always very kind to me. This is why I wanted to give back to the school by being a Head Student, to make sure that everyone is heard.

Top tip: Be kind to others for them to be kind to you. Always work hard for your goals!

Why did you want to be a Head Student?

I only joined St Peter’s in Year 9, but I feel a strong sense of belonging here, the school has encouraged me to flourish in both personal and academic development. I wish to contribute back to the school for helping me achieve so much more than I have ever imagined.

Top tip: Live in the moment, you never know what’s round the corner. Keep an open mind and embrace the surprises that come your way.

Subjects: Economics, English Literature, Business

Why did you want to be a Head Student?

Every student should be heard, so as Head Student, I will act as a bridge between students and teachers to ensure that ideas and opinions are acknowledged and valued. This is important to me because open communication encourages a diverse range of creative ideas which will contribute to the success and sense of belonging within the St Peter’s community.

Top tip: Never be afraid to get involved, no one will remember your mistakes, but everyone will remember your courage to participate.

Why did you want to be a Head Student?

Throughout my experience, I have really valued the school community and the relationships that I have forged here. By becoming a Head Student, I wanted to say thank you to my teachers and friends for my school experience.

Top tip: Don’t forget the value of friendship. Balance your time to ensure you build long-lasting relationships with those around you.

THEO:

Subjects: Maths, Physics, Product Design

Why did you want to be a Head Student?

Being in a position where I can make a big impact on a community that I've been a part of for the last 5 years was important to me. I was inspired by Head Students in previous years, talking to them in mentoring sessions and seeing them present in front of the school. This was something I want to give back and hopefully inspire future Head Students.

Top tip: Stay on top of your work, it makes life so much easier. Be open to opportunities, you never know where they may take you. And have fun.

ANNIE:

Subjects: Biology, Classics, Philosophy & Ethics 

Why did you want to be a Head Student?

I believe that the opportunity to encourage and support students to fulfil their potential is truly such an enriching position. I hope I can inspire others within the community to be passionate about school life and strive towards their ambitions. 

Top tip: Be authentically yourself and show this by participating in things that you enjoy; don’t disengage from your passions just because others have different interests.
