Dear Parents,
“Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other.” – John F. Kennedy
Our student leadership elections took place last week in MK Primary. There was a real buzz around the place as students shared their ideas on how to make our school even better. I have been astounded by the number of students who put themselves forward to represent their class and the school. These students presented their proposals in an enthusiastic and confident manner whilst their classmates and House peers listened intently and responded with insightful questions.
The Primary school council was announced and presented during Thursday’s assembly.
They are as follows:
3MA – Kinda Ismail
3MB – Zainab Hamouda
4MA – Ebun Agbetunsin
4MB – Miya Duarte
4MC – Pratik Chokkalingam
5MA – Althea Pena
5MB – Mohannad Amer
6MA – Farhan Al Shamari
6MB – Allegra Gasparri
We were also proud to present our House Captains:
North – Layan Al Sairi
East – Sydney Toet
South – Tessa Lelieveld
West – Zaid Seyam
The process for appointing Head Boy and Head Girl was different. This involved students submitting an application, which included their ideas for improving the school for students and a reference from a teacher. These were then reviewed by Miss Bastone, Mr McArtney and myself. The final stage involved four of the applicants being invited to an interview with Miss Bastone and myself. After hours of deliberation, we finally agreed on the two successful candidates.
The Heads of our MK Primary Students Leaders are:
Head Girl – Nada Al Kharazi
Head Boy – Graham Wing
Congratulations to these students and a huge thank you to all that volunteered for the role. For those students not successful, there will be a number of additional leadership opportunities for all ages linked to our global campus challenges throughout the year.
Have a great week!
Jimmy Frawley
