Try to mention something that’s inspired you to take on the role...

When I became head boy my speech was based completely around making a difference for those who suffer bullying. This was because I experienced a substantial amount myself throughout my life...
Try and make those who will see your application, connect with you enthusiasm and reasoning on a complete new levels.

Make sure they know what you plan to do with the role, how you will make a difference and what you can do. What can you bring to the table? And try not to mention so much about the academic side (however important) because at the end of the day being a head student is not all about being academic, but strong leadership and passion for what you are doing!

Hey! I literally just got Head girl at my school. This is so long! How long does the application have to be? My application was one page and a few boxes and then we did a big speech to all the teachers. If you also have to do a speech, I’d include a lot less of the information you have. Otherwise, what will you have to talk about? However, if you are only going through the election with paper applications, This sounds quite good. Ask yourself, is your passion for the role getting across to the people who will be reading it? It’s a lot harder to do in written format. Use fancy words. (If it is teacher elections)

We have to a 2 sided A4 statement (cannot be longer that that), font size 12. explaining the reasons for applying for the post and what i feel i can offer. However i feel like i need to talk about the ideas i can offer and implement, but i dont know where to start as i have lots of ideas, and plus i have no idea where i should mention it within my statement. :redface:

Well, you should definitely make sure that when you are mentioning ideas you’re not slating the school. Say things like ‘I would like to build on x by introducing y with the help of z’. So, Don’t just describe yourself to be the supreme leader... mention working with others but also taking responsibility in leadership positions. You could mention previous times in school you’ve volunteered to help younger students. Think outside of the box but be realistic when implicating ideas.
