Over the past few years, I have been actively involved in my school community. Following a successful campaign, where I highlighted the strengths and visions I could bring to the role, I was elected by staff and sixth form students to the position of ‘Deputy Head Boy’. As a role model for the whole school, I often give talks to prospective students along with their parents about school life and conduct tours around the school; in addition, being a member of the ‘Senior Six’ enables me to work as part of a team, organising a wide range of social events and activities that everyone can participate in. I also work during my free time as a mentor to a small group of Year 7 students, helping them solve any problems they may have in maths and personal concerns in school. All of these tasks have improved my interpersonal skills as well as developed my confidence in communicating and I have gained valuable experience in working with a diverse range of people.
