Middle School Leaders for 2013

This is the process of the Middle School Leadership Program:
1. Fill in the MS Leadership Booklet

• Write your goals for 2013
• Why you will make a good leader
• Get 4 co-curricular activities, and all signed by the teachers-in-charge

Then, we were meant to be interviewed by the Principal and Head of Middle School. But then they changed it at the last minute.

2. Middle School Leadership Speech
We got only the weekend to write about it, as we only got told (on Friday) that our Principal wanted us to present a speech each to the whole of Middle School and present it on Monday.

We had to write a 1-2 minutes speech about 3 qualities that makes you a good leader, 2 reasonable ideas if you get that position, and an inspirational quote about leadership.

The quote that I chose was by William Arthur Ward, “Nothing limits achievement like small thinking.  Nothing equals possibilities like unleashed thinking.”
I chose this quote because it speaks about having a great imagination to achieve and open the doors to many opportunities and possibilities. I am taking this step to think big. (NOTE: This was in my speech)

3. Voting
All of the Middle School got to vote for 5 people each, 2 Middle School Consuls, SRC President, SRC Secretary and Environmental Captain.
I ran for Middle School Consul and SRC President.
The Year 7s got 2 votes for 1 person they chose, as they would know their fellow Year 7s better. The rest of the Middle School got 1 vote.

4. Announcement of the 2013 Middle School Leaders
A few days later, the Head of Middle School announced it only to the Year 7s at first.
So here the positions are:

• Middle School Consuls - Jo and Inez
• SRC President - Nicole
• SRC Secretary - Noor
• Environmental - Ella

So there we have it, I will be next year's SRC President. So, I'll be working with our Principal and Head of Middle School, along with my secretary and the SRC Representatives to make our school a better place.

I would've liked to get MS Consul, but I am just as happy to receive the position of leading the SRC to make a difference to the School.
