So finally I am on study leave, meaning that when I return in June I will be a year 13 as our school has a roll-over. This is so weird to think about as it feels like just yesterday I was a year 9 with 5 long years ahead of me at Cranbrook School. Now I can finally believe the year 13s who said that their time has flown by so quickly!
As we are becoming the leaders of the school we will have new responsibilities and be expected to present role-model behaviour to the younger years. As some of us will have more leading roles than others, it is important that we fulfil our responsibilities to the best of our abilities. Our house has 3 main positions: House Captain, Deputy House Captain and Sports Captain. With all this in mind, I decided to apply for Deputy House Captain as I would like to have a strong role in the house but I think that I would suit a more supporting role better than House Captain. I wasn't too hopeful as 5 other girls were also applying for House/Deputy House Captain but it was announced on Thursday that myself and one of my best friends were chosen to be these positions! I am very happy as this will give me great opportunities to shine as a leader and contribute as much as possible to Webster Girls. My other best friend and I also received our other choice of Year 9 Mentors so that we can attend their tutor sessions every other week to give them input/advice and help them to feel as comfortable as possible in their new school. I think that we will perform this role really well as we are both approachable/caring and we can remember very clearly what it was like to be in year 9!
I am currently preparing for my first exam on Tuesday, but luckily this news has put me on a high! Wish me luck!
