This week appointments have been made to the Senior Student Leadership Team. This is a group made up of students in Year 13 who have offered to lead and serve the student body this year. In addition to the Head Girl and Boy and their deputies, there are teams of officers for the Arts, Communications, Charity work, Spiritual life and Sports.
As part of the process of appointment, students have had to write a formal application setting out their talents and explaining how they will serve the school community in the role they have applied for. This statement formed the basis of their interview.
