Additional Information

Starting John Paul College at year 9 I instantly felt as though I was apart of the school Whanu, due to the kind staff and inspiring student leaders. This is the main reason for applying for a prefect/captain role as I would love to make younger students feel as included as I did. I believe that I am a dedicated student at John Paul College if that is socially, in sport, or academically. I have always thrived to make JPC an inclusive and enjoyable place, I would be very appreciative to have a role as a student leader for 2025 so that I can continue to share the JPC love. I devote time to help students so that they feel happy at JPC and help staff members so they feel grateful to be working at my school. I have always tried to take every opportunity I can at JPC (another reasoning leading me to apply) and would love to motivate other students to do the same, as our school has so much to deliver. I am confident that my bubbly and approachable personality lines with the roles I am applying for. I consider that I role model John Paul colleges values and virtues in and out of school making me a great possible person for this role.
