Congratulations To Our 2020 Student Leadership Team!
The have been some exciting changes in the structure and members of the student council. The new plan we put forward this year was to recruit two student captains and two vice captains from Year 11, ready for 2020. We were extremely lucky to have seven great candidates put themselves forward for these 4 roles.
Each of the candidates made their pitch to the Year 11 group, and also to the teachers. Each group were asked to vote on who they thought would do the role the best – this allowed us to determine the support these students had from their peers, but also their teachers. Incredibly, the level of support for all the students was equally high.
