Introduction on Why I you want to be a head boy
Answers
Answer:
"Hi everyone my name is ******. So I’ve been given three minutes to tell you why you should vote for me to be your Head boy. I could promise you a bunch of really awesome things, like a lot candidates would, but you’re too smart for that. So I’ll tell you the truth and what I think I can realistically do for this school and for all of you.
A poet named Henry David Thoreau once wrote “I cannot make my days longer, so I strive to make them better”. With this Head Boy election here at St. Joseph’s, we also have an opportunity to make our days better.
I believe our college is like a tree; we are all different parts of this tree, for example – The teachers are like the roots, which supplement us with knowledge and help us to grow. If I was Head Boy, I would be like the manure which the gardener spreads to enrich the ground, just that little added extra which can make a big difference.
Some of the things I’ve thought about for the school are:
1) I want the students to have a voice in St Joseph’s. For that we have a pupil council. The thing is though, the pupil council is absolutely useless. I’m not just saying that for no reason. I was a member of the council until my 5th year and I’m sure some of you will agree with me when I say that while we talked and discussed and acted as if we had a say, it was really the teachers that ran the show. A lot of important decisions have been made in the school by the teachers and though the pupil council is called to meet and discuss these decisions, what they, what we say doesn’t really matter that much. Even if we were to show our complete disagreement, it wouldn’t matter. I’m not just making this up by the way, this is the case. If you vote for me as Head Boy, I will do my best to change this.
2) I want St. Joseph’s to offer more clubs, tournaments and competitions. These can be sport and non-sport. For example, in terms of tournaments we could have badminton, basketball and obviously football – maybe themed on the Euro 2012 tournament this year. In terms of non-sporty things, we could have monthly art and photography contests; we could form a group of people who know a lot about computers and gaming to maybe become a gaming group which could even develop some small, free computer games for the school.
3) If I am Head Boy, I also promise to do my best to form a prom committee, with people from 5th and 6th year, to organise a brilliant prom for you all. Next years prom might not be on your minds right now, especially for all the 5th years, but in a few months you’ll start thinking about it and it’ll become much more important.
I realise that, being Head Boy isn’t about being better than anyone else. It’s about having the trust of the student body to organise and represent them with honesty and enthusiasm, whenever called upon.
I have the compassion to listen, the ability to always work hard, yet have a good sense of humour.
So don’t vote for me just because of my good looks and charming demeanour, although you might be tempted to do that. Vote for me because you have excellent taste and superb decision making skills!
Our days might not be longer but they can sure be better."

MEET OUR HEAD BOY & HEAD GIRL
PROFILE: PIOTR - HEAD BOY
Why did you want to become Head Boy?
By getting the role I was able to give something back to the school. I knew the role would require a lot of commitment and would challenge me in every aspect of my personality. It taught me a lot about how to work with people and the responsibility that I withheld prepared me for the world of work and allowed me to grow as a person.
What does your role involve?
My role, as a head boy, consisted of being a role model for younger years to inspire them to be a good representative of Whitefield. I helped with number of events run in school, such as open day and parents’ evenings, where I had to make sure that the school is represented in the best way possible. I also worked closely with SLT members to ensure students’ concerns are heard and taken into account.
What are your personal strengths?
I think my personal strength is the ability to communicate with people across different age groups and this helped me a lot when I had to negotiate students’ issues with staff members or when I had to motivate students to take part in school’s life.
What do you see as the strengths of Whitefield School?
The biggest strength of Whitefield is definitely how diverse the school is. We have students from all over the world and all sorts of backgrounds and they all fell safe and welcome in this environment. I personally worked closely with the school Librarian to ensure that our school is a place where things such as sexism, homophobia, transphobia or racism doesn't exist.
What has been the highlight of your time at Whitefield School?
The highlight of my time in Whitefield was I think the chance to make my ideas be turned into reality, as well as the ideas of other students could be heard, because I helped their voice be heard in the school. Also, it allowed me to develop my public speaking skills, which I struggled with before I became a head boy.
What are your plans and ambitions for the future?
I would like to study Psychology at the university, with my career aim being to work as a qualified Social Sciences teacher.
As Head Boy, what kind of legacy would you like to leave at Whitefield?
I would like to leave school knowing that it is a fully accepting and safe environment, where all students are able to express themselves in a way they want and be always treated with respect. I want the school to be free and homophobia and any form of bullying to ensure all the students can develop their confidence to the succeed in later life.
