After an extremely rewarding year as Outdoor Ed Leaders, we are honoured and extremely grateful to have been elected as the School Captains for 2024. Since stepping into the role we’ve been in close communication with the rest of the team about our goals and aspirations for the year to come, and we’ve all agreed on our vision as leaders. We’re going to do everything we can to make 2024 a fun, memorable year in which we bring together the school as a whole and make positive impacts in the community around us.
We think it’s important to build connections between the Junior, Middle and Senior Schools, making the most of the wonderful community we have by ensuring everyone of all ages has a place to be heard and valued. More than anything we want school to be enjoyable for everyone, so we’re going to work hard to run as many community events as we can while making general changes to help better students’ every-day experiences.
Mental health is also extremely important to us, so it will be a fundamental part of our work as a team throughout the year. We hope to provide support to all members of our community and raise further awareness for the topic, making school even more of a safe and nurturing space for everyone. To assist us with this we’re also encouraging and providing opportunity for student voice, through an online platform where we can receive open and honest feedback from our peers. Through this we hope to tailor our actions as a team to the true needs of our School.
Another of our focus points will be making a difference in our local community – to go to Tintern is such a privilege, so we want to make the most of our opportunities while also doing everything we can to give back through charity events and fundraisers.
We’re super excited for the year to come, and to give back to a community that has given us so much.
