Applying for head girl
When I was told that I had been nominated for Head Girl I was, naturally, overjoyed. Many people told me that it was an excellent opportunity and would aid me in later life. Although I agree with this and acknowledge the fact that I would benefit immensely from it, this is not the reason why I initially aspired to this post. Despite the protestations that seem to accompany anything related to school, I have come to realise that we are extremely privileged to receive a brilliant education and have many people to thank. I believe that we should try to give something back to the school, if not to take action in our ‘thank you’, but to provide younger students with the beneficial support that we had. Becoming head girl would mean that I was able to give back to the school and if I could help in any way I would feel that I had accomplished a great achievement.

i believe that I am suited to the role of Head Girl. Over the last four years that I have spent at Park School I have learnt many things including responsibility, hard work, commitment and confidence. Not only have I earned the grades that I have strived to achieve; I have also enjoyed myself, something that I believe to be of great importance. I believe that enjoyment is a key element in the experience of school and if you are content and happy in your working environment than you will naturally work harder and put more effort into both school work and extra-curricular activities. I would try my hardest to make sure that younger members of our school were able to enjoy themselves in an environment where they can learn and socialise. I am also an active member of a number of clubs and activities outside of school. I have contributed to teaching the lower school through the P.S.E Drama program. Using Forum Theatre, we address the issues that surround many young adults and help them to understand how to deal with them. Not only has this improved my confidence but I feel that many students have benefitted

    I think that as head teachers and administrators you have to be willing to “jump in and get dirty.” The staff looks to those in charge to get a feel for their reaction. I also think that administrators who continue to work in the classrooms with teachers, practicing what they are trying to “sell” is extremely…

    Tab: St.Charles high school may seem very one-dimensional from the outside, like many high schools, and this can oftentimes be magnified to suffocate our depth and benevolence.

    What does being a school leader mean to me? If I had been asked this question a few years ago, I’m not sure I’d know how to answer. As I would expect, you have probably received the standard responses involving improving the school or making a change. Those are both good, but in my case it’s a little different. I was taught that having success is good, great actually, something to try and achieve. It was what lead you to a bright and happy future, but I don’t believe that’s all there is to it and nothing more. I believe in a spark. Now you may be bewildered by the idea of people having blazing infernos inside of them, but just hear me out. Something people like school leaders…

    Honor Society Reflection

    This year, I have used my leadership skills to better my school’s National Honor Society chapter. I am an active two year member of National Honor Society, and I was elected by my peers to serve as Vice-President this year. I wanted to serve as Vice-President because I believed that the club had a lot of untapped potential. Having seen friends from other schools talk about the high standards and requirements of their clubs, I believed that my school should meet those standards as well. The four pillars of National Honor Society are Scholarship, Service, Leadership, and Character. My school has an impressive amount of girls who qualify for NHS academically, which fulfills the Scholarship pillar. However, I knew my club could better represent…

    Bias In Leadership

    • 2189 Words

    While interviewing these women, a review of tendencies and issues that they faced while seeking positions of higher leadership in education were examined. During the 1990s, women were the dominant gender in professional education as well as in university based professional preparation programs for administrators (Chin, 2011). Even though the percentage of women superintendents nearly doubled during the nineties, from 6.6 percent, to 13.2 percent, the vast majority of superintendents remain male. Although many superintendents are retiring, (many view this as the golden age for women in school administration) and significant growth has been viewed by women in the educational profession, this growth has not been viewed as insignificant within the senior level of leadership. Women who seek leadership positions have been encouraged to align themselves with mentors who are experienced in their careers and with those who possess qualities for achieving successful outcomes (Bingham & Nix, 2010). Women have also been encouraged to engage in positions which will project them on their quest to senior level educational leadership and to overcome bias. Most women (around 75 percent) teach on the elementary level. Nearly 75 of current superintendents did not teach at the elementary…

I believe I have the skills and the ability to make a different to the Academy to make it a better place for us kids to enjoy learning and be able to transform our learning, transform our lives and to transform our community.

I am also a good speaker and listener, I am very open to share ideas and listen to any ideas from my fellow classmates. Though I am not perfect and there are times where I talk in class, I do try to be the best student I can, and help any students in need of help.

    I am very much a pleasure and want everyone happy. At times a principal can’t make everyone happy and will have to say things that may hurt others. It is important to remember that we are in the business for doing what is best for students. I can often become overwhelmed with the amount of work I take on; this keeps me from reaching my full potential in all areas of work. As I move forward delegation will be very important for me to be successful. This will take some of the work load off of me but allowing me to monitor and facilitate issues at school. I am seen as “high strung” to the people who know me well but I do hid my emotions well. The delegations of things will help me deal with being high strung. I have high expectations for myself and those around me. All people have the ability to be successful and reach their full potential. I will be the motivation and driving force to reach those expectations.
