Student Leaders Determined to Make a Difference
2023 Barbreck Captains’ Speech
CHARLOTTE MORRIS & CAMILLA THOMAS
Good afternoon, teachers, students, and parents.
My name is Charlotte and beside me is Camilla. We are your Junior School Captains for 2023.
We put ourselves forward for this position because we love Barbreck and wanted the opportunity to make a difference. We are looking forward to working hard for our community where girls feel happy, safe, comfortable and can achieve.
We understand that the role of Junior School Captain has big responsibilities to serve the girls of Barbreck. We want to lead with courage, fairness, and determination, which brings us to our theme for 2023.
Yes, our theme for the year is determination. We chose this theme because we want Barbreck girls to be determined to try hard and be the best girls we can be, and for Barbreck to be the best junior school ever!
We are determined to be a powerful Year level that leaves an unforgettable mark on Barbreck as one of the best Year 6 levels to pass through its gates. Yes girls, we can do this!
We are also determined to highlight the need for respect and courtesy. In a world where there is much conflict, let us create an atmosphere of peace, care for each other and respect for one another.
We are determined to actively listen and to be considerate of each other, working together to raise awareness of the needs of those less fortunate and the need to care for the environment, both inside and outside of Barbreck.
We call on our fellow Year 6 girls to step up and seriously take on the responsibility of being determined leaders and to be a powerful team, one committed and determined to being the best Year 6 group that we can be, and to be role models for each other and every girl here, not just when it suits, but for the whole year!
We are determined to do this by:
- encouraging each other to work as a team;
- having a positive ‘can do’ attitude by reminding each other of the important roles we play in the lives of our fellow students;
- setting the tone and standards of our School;
- leading by example in all that we do; and
- remembering that we represent our School and fellow students through our actions, words, and appearance.
We truly look forward to being your Junior School Captains and we cannot wait for the great year ahead.
