Speeches of Mitcham House Captain and Vice Captain
“As you all know, it is my last year at Lonesome and I thought I’d give it a shot to become
House Captain of Mitcham House. As I am a Year 6 child, I think I am responsible and
experienced in sports and other things. Personally, I believe that I am one of the most
inspiring and courageous people in Mitcham House. I believe I am good in a crisis – I stay cool
and calm.”
Marshall (House Captain – Mitcham House)
“Thank you all for coming on this very day to listen to this speech I’ve produced. This speech
is about why I want to be House Captain. OK, who here wants a fun and loyal house captain?
Well, I’m the person you’re looking for! Even though I can be quite silly at times, I do have
the ability to keep calm and cool in difficult situations but I think with this experience, my
behaviour will improve. I promise that everyone gets a chance to contribute in the activities
during the time I am House Captain. If at the time I am handing out awards I will not, repeat
not, just give them to students who are my friends. I’m not one of those students who are
not fair to other students. So that is why I want to be Mitcham’s House Captain. Thank you
one and all for listening.”
Abenizer (Vice Captain – Mitcham House)

listen to both sides of an argument and make sure it is dealt with fairly. Furthermore, if there
is a situation where nothing can be done, leave it to me. Don’t forget, I certainly will be giving
great advice. If we can do all of this, then we can succeed. Vote for me and in no time, you

Speeches of Colliers Wood House Captain and Vice Captain
“Most of you already know me as I have been at this school for 7 years or so. Throughout my
time at Lonesome, I’ve stood out from other children for a number of different reasons but
even so teachers and parents have recognised and commented on my good character and
behaviour. I think that I should be elected because:
 I set a good example to others around me. I would serve as a good role model to younger
children of acceptable behaviour.
 I am a born leader, so I know how to be tough but at the same time, I am kind and
considerate to others especially those who are not confident or have little self belief.
 I am also a fair person who hates injustice so I would try my very best to work with
children and school leaders to make Lonesome a better school that children can be proud
to say they attend.
I know that I am the right person for this job so do the right thing and vote for me. You won’t
be disappointed.”
Daniel (House Captain – Colliers Wood House)
“Hello, my name is Owen and In Year 5 – Cedar Class. thank you for this opportunity to be
House Captain. I do not often get opportunities like this but when I do I believe, achieve and
succeed! I never give up and will encourage us to do things you never thought you could. I
will also encourage good behaviour and improve bad behaviour around the school. I will
listen to other people’s opinions and support them in whatever they feel they would like to
do. I have represented the school in a number of sports competitions including football,
handball, athletics and am now training for the hockey competition. I also play for a football
team outside of school. I always attend training and matches, I believe this shows good
discipline and respect. I feel that discipline and respect are an important part of sports but
they are just as important in school and at home.
Please nominate me and I will lead our team to success. I hope you enjoyed my speech.
Thank you for listening.
Owen (Vice Captain – Colliers Wood House)
Speeches of Wimbledon House Captain and Vice Captain
“Good afternoon boys and girls. I am Sarah and I hope to be your new House Captain. Being a
reading leader in the school has developed some leadership skills in me. For example,
encouraging pupils, praising them and teaching them to never give up. When I’m reading
with my partner, it helps my communication and listening skills with them. I want to use
these skills to lead our house on the right path. Since I am a student at this school like you, I
am sure to help with any problems you have by coming alongside you and finding a fair
solution. My aim is to bring the best out in every one of you to get those vital house points. I
believe that together as a house, we can achieve and succeed in winning the trophy and
beyond. Thank you for listening to my speech."
Sarah (House Captain – Wimbledon House)
“I should be House Captain of Wimbledon House because I am a good role model for
behaviour and learning. I may not always be able to motivate others, but I will try. I am also
reliable and a great listener. One of the roles is to encourage good behaviour. I am probably
suitable for this.”
Oliver (Vice Captain – Wimbledon House)
