HEADS of SCHOOL PERSPECTIVES We would like to start by saying how much we have thoroughly enjoyed our roles of Head Boy and Girl this year; it has been both a privilege and a pleasant challenge. It’s safe to say that the second half of our school year didn’t exactly follow the little blue book. However, the positive energy has continued within the cohesive Emanuel community. Organising our wonderful and entertaining team of prefects has been a pleasure and we feel confident that we have contributed to the smooth running of the school. Although Year 13 brings numerous challenges such as university searches, A level revision and general growing up, being part of such a resilient year group has made our final year the best yet. A joint highlight of ours was the prefects’ dinner, which demonstrated to us how strong the bonds are between staff and pupils at Emanuel. We will both greatly miss the weekly meetings with Mr Milne and Mr Kothakota, who have helped us to develop our leadership and teamwork skills. The combination of both of our experiences at the school highlights the range of co-curricular and extra-curricular activities that Emanuel has to offer. Leaving Emanuel was never going to be easy but being Head Boy and Head Girl has meant that we can look forward with pride, knowing that we are prepared.
