Mohammed Ali once said, "what keeps me going is goals", i believe that this is true for myself as well, if you have nothing to aim for, you have no motivation, no dreams and no desire, i would not be standing for this respected role of Head Boy if i did not have these three things.

Hi everyone, my name is ******. I’m applying for head boy for two main reasons. Number one is that I appreciate how much this school has done for me and genuinely want to give something back, secondly I want to have a positive impact on St oseph’s and leave ne!t year knowing I did something worthwhile for the school. Some of the things I’ve thought about for the school are" #$ I want the students to have a voice in St oseph’s. %or that we have a pupil council. &he thing is, many pupils have told to me that the pupil council could be better. ' lot of important decisions have been made in the school by the teachers and though the pupil council is called to meet and discuss these decisions, what we say doesn’t matter as much as it should. If you vote for me as Head (oy, I will do my best to change this and make the council more about making our opinions and thoughts matter. )$ ' lot of people have told me that there isn’t much to during lunch, apart from going to one of the shops like +’s or Heathers. -upils have told me it would be good if there were more clubs, tournaments or competitions during lunch. If that’s the case then I would definitely try and get some more of these things up and running. &hese could be lunchtime sports clubs like basketball or badminton or even groups like a debating group or a gaming group. ust chatting during lunch is cool but it would be nice to have other options. $ If there is enough interest, we could even have tournaments as well the new clubs which would be on offer. %or e!ample a /uro )0#) themed football tournament, or badminton, basketball, dodgeball, competitions. 1e could have art competitions or photography contests. If there is enough interest in any activity I would love to organise these for you. 2$ 3oming back to the gaming group, we could form a group of people who know a lot about computers and gaming to maybe become a gaming group which could even develop some small, free computer games for the school. 'part from what I’ve said, if any of you have any concerns or problems then I will be here for you. I’m 4uite approachable and would be happy to hear about anything that’s bothering you or any ideas or concerns you may have. If you don’t want to talk to me personally for whatever reason then I could set up some sort of communication system. &he point is that I will be here for you. I realise that, being Head (oy isn’t about being better than anyone else. It’s about having the trust of the student body to organise and represent them with honesty and enthusiasm and hopefully I will earn your trust in time. I have the willingness and desire to listen, the ability to always work hard, yet hopefully still have a good sense of humour. 5ote for me if you want your voice to be heard, your ideas to be considered and your e!perience in your ne!t year at school to be the best it can be. &hanks for listening everyone.
