Junior School Leadership

We faced many challenges this year being Junior School Leaders during the COVID-19 pandemic. Although we worked online, we still enjoyed being able to lead Assembly and connect with people in different grades. We also enjoyed having an opportunity to do different things and step out of our comfort zones. Being a member of the Junior School leadership team forced us to challenge our boundaries and be open-minded and make new relationships. What we learned from this year is that these qualities, of being open, challenging ourselves and making new relationships, are crucial to leading in any shape or form. Here is some advice from us to the future leaders in 2021:

“We all need to try and never give up because we learn new things when we give things a go.” – Delaney

“Be the best version of yourself that you can be and stay resilient when things don’t go your way. Never forget your self-worth and always be kind to others!” – Jenny

“Be confident and make sure to be organised and know what you are doing each week.” – Eden

“Walk in with confidence and be yourself because you got chosen to be a leader for a reason. Remember to always be supportive and help the younger years as they look up to you!” – Johanna

“Always say hello to the younger years because they all look up to you so much! If someone seems sad just approach them and mention that you are a leader and I’m sure you can help them out! They will be forever grateful for your support.” – Imogen

“Never back down because of fear. Doing so will hinder your courage and confidence. Also, if you just give things a go, then you will see that you have the power to change the world.” – Ruhani
