FUTURE LEADERS: MEET OUR HEAD BOY AND HEAD GIRL

What is the best thing about being Head Boy / Girl?

Japmeh: Being able to give back to the school, I have been at Hallfield for 9 years, so it is really nice to be able to help enforce a stronger community spirit.

Jama: Being able to represent the school makes me feel very proud.

What do you hope to accomplish this year as Head Boy/ Girl?

Japmeh: I have already accomplished one of my goals, which was to create a Hallfield Radio station, and I’d like to say thank you to Mr Morrow for helping my vision to come to life. I also hope to start a more informal space for pupils to share the good and the bad parts of life at Hallfield.

Jama: I’d like to help make improvements to the equipment available at break and lunchtimes, as well as ensuring that any new equipment is taken care of properly and respected by everyone. I look forward to speaking with my peers and finding out how to make their break times even more fun.

How has being Head Boy / Girl helped you?

Japmeh: It has helped my confidence and public speaking skills massively; I have already done a speech and a reading to large audiences in my first term.

Jama: It has improved my confidence. Before being Head Boy, I was not very good at public speaking but by being pushed to do talks, I think this has improved massively.

What is your most lasting memory from Hallfield or is it yet to come?

Japmeh: Because I’ve been here so long, I have too many to list! I hold very fond memories of my first hockey match and residential trip but I actually think the best is still yet to come.

Jama: Becoming Head Boy on Speech Day, I was very happy and surprised when Mr Morrow called out my name, I felt very proud of myself.
