My year as Deputy Head Girl (Boarding) has been a really positive and memorable experience for me. It is a role that helped me grow in confidence and taught me a lot about leadership, responsibility, and supporting others.
One of the parts I enjoyed the most was being involved in boarding life throughout the year and helping to support the boarding community. Boarding is always changing, and I enjoyed being someone students could turn to if they needed help, advice, or reassurance. I found it rewarding to help students feel comfortable and supported in the boarding environment.
Being part of the Boarding Council was also an important part of my role. It allowed me to listen to students’ ideas and concerns and share them with staff. I liked working together to help improve boarding life and make sure students felt heard.
I also had the opportunity to give speeches throughout the year. At first this felt challenging, but it helped me become more confident speaking in front of others. Through these speeches, I was able to reflect on shared experiences and represent the boarding community.
Throughout the year, I tried to help wherever I could, whether that was supporting events, checking in on younger students, or being approachable and supportive. This role showed me how important kindness, communication, and teamwork are.
Overall, being Deputy Head Girl (Boarding) has been a great experience that I am very grateful for. It has helped me develop skills I will take with me into the future, and it is something I will always be proud of.
