Prefect application letter

Dear ____,
I am writing to inform you of my application for the position of prefect.
The position of prefect is a vital part of the school’s anatomy, and a fantastic tradition that helps students grasp skills such as leadership, teamwork, innovative thinking and communication. I believe that by becoming a prefect I can help develop my own skills as well as bringing in my own ideas.
Within my past 4 years at ____ I have consistently shown the correct attitude that is required to become a prefect. I have perfect uniform, which means I will be a good role model towards the younger students. I have a near perfect attendance meaning I can be counted on to meet deadlines and give my time to help the school.
In my free time I organise myself effectively so that I produce homework on time and to a high standard yet I still have time to myself. Although I haven’t contributed as much as I would have liked to extra-curricular activities I still believe I can make a positive difference to the school. I am still willing to change my behaviour for the school and I have started by taking part in the Duke of Edinburgh’s award to help better myself and to get outside of my comfort zone and improve how I behave in different situations.

I'm not sure about the third paragraph, if you guys could please make some changes and improvements
