I would like to be Head Girl as it would be a privilege to be elected to take the part of a key role in the functioning and representation.  In addition to this, I would benefit personally by becoming Head Girl giving me the opportunity to be able to develop my public speaking and leadership skills, which will be useful later on in life.  Another reason as to why I would like to be Head Girl is because I would like to be able to be seen as an approachable person for pupils of all ages to be able to talk to about any queries or concerns they may have.

In the first term of my year I have contributed greatly to school life.  For instance, I work and play with the younger children in After School club every Wednesday as well as assisting Preparatory children in the development of their reading skills.  I have always enjoying working with young children and I would like to continue to do so to make the time spent by pupils, younger and older, at Old Palace memorable.  I have also taken part in the Young Enterprise scheme, which I have a keen interest in.  I am the Marketing Director of my Young ...
