Now you all already know who I am, you know what
position I am running for, so I will skip over the
semantics as I am sure you have other pressing
matters to attend to. When we were first accepted as
candidates we were asked to answer three
questions. What is the role of a College Captain, why
would we make good College Captains and what
kind of impact can we create as College Captains.
Captains serve as the strongest figures for voicing
student concerns relating to school, they have a duty
to serve as role models for all their peers, and are
expected to uphold the highest of standards as they
represent our college and its values as a whole.
The reputation that I have developed over my many
years at this school speaks for itself. I am someone
who is dedicated and determined when tackling any
task or issue that comes my way. I am someone who
has no qualms about speaking up and raising
awareness when I see glaring issues around me.
We as students are the most important group in any
educational institution, thus it is only right that we
have our voices heard whenever and wherever we
see problems arise. Let me be your voice, for we as a
collective are nothing unless we are united and act
together to push for change when we see fit.
Now I realise that many of you may simply be voting
based on whoever is in your immediate social group,
but consider this, this position is more than just a
status symbol, it is more than just a badge and it is
more than just a dot point on a resume.
I will leave you with this quote: “Change will not come
if we wait for some other person or some other time.
We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the
change that we seek.”
Thank you.
