Head girl

As the head girl at a school of 1 000 learners, I often receive the question “what is it like being the head girl of Concordia College”. Well, being the head girl in general requires a lot of responsibility and time management, along with a lot of things you need to do for the school and its learners.

As the head girl, whenever the school has an event - like our school had their 40th anniversary, that type of thing - even though it's not a project for the learners representative council (LRC), it's a project of the school. And as the head girl, I'm here to serve the school and its learners.

Obviously not in a way that it's like I'm a slave or whatever. No, I'm human, but it's in the way that the LRCs as a whole are the connection between the learners and the faculty.

If the learners have concerns to raise, they come to me - especially the girls - to raise their concerns. And as the head girl, I am the bridge between the girls and the person in charge, in this case our principal.

As the head girl, the one thing I struggled with the most and still struggle with is definitely cooperation from the faculty and the learners.

Sometimes a lot of teachers will be mad because I’m missing classes, and with the learners, it's that they all want many things and I can only do what I can and what is within my bounds and it's definitely not easy. But nevertheless, I love my job.

I love being a bridge, I love being a leader, I love being able to make people happy and do something that pleases the world.
