Dear Mr Godber,
WHAT IS THIS LETTER ABOUT?
I am writing this letter to apply for the position of a Senior Prefect at Eggar’s School as I believe I would be an ideal representative for the school and a good role model to those younger than me.
INTRO – APPLYING APPLICATION
I am genuinely very happy at Eggar’s School and it would be a privilege to be part of the Senior Prefect team underpinning the good work that is done by the staff. I see this position as a central part of the school's foundations, traditions, and effective communication between students, teachers and the local community. Being a senior prefect is one of the top roles a student can have at a school. They work with the teachers to create a better learning environment and provide opportunities for others to succeed.
THE ROLE – WHY IS THE ROLE IMPORTANT? HOW WE VALUE PREFECTS? – GENERAL
Personally, I believe that having Senior prefects are important as they act as a leading demonstration of the school’s ethos to the ‘outside world’, not only to the parents of current and prospective pupils but the people in the community surrounding our school. Senior prefects act as leaders; they do this with energy and enthusiasm and with a willingness to put others before themselves. Given their status as leaders and role models, Senior Prefects are a visible and active presence around the school.
WHY I WANT TO BE A SENIOR PREFECT
What school will get out of it –
I believe that if I was to become Senior Prefect, I would be able to share my knowledge and advice about the school to suggest improvements from an experienced pupil’s perspective. I would also be able to provide on-going practical support such as parents evenings, sports days, helping out Eggar’s newspapers etc.
My knowledge about the school and how it runs from a pupils perspective (experience gained over

    This past year, I was given one of the most important leadership positions of my life: a Junior Marshal for the 2016 East Rowan Graduation. Being a Junior Marshal is a lot of responsibility; you have to be composed, organized, and flexible to help out with senior activities leading up to their graduation. Although it is the seniors’ day when they graduate, Junior Marshals have a lot to do with the actual process: we set up and decorate, lead them to their seats, show them the layout of how they are to walk when they get their diplomas, and so much more. Before this experience, I had actually never even heard of a Junior Marshal and I had been in high school for three years.…

    The role of the senior management team is to take the decisions of the school governors and implement them. They have a responsibility to ensure things are done properly such as health and safety, finance and equality legislation to ensure there is no discrimination in the school. The role of the head teacher is to implement the policies which have been put in place by the school governors; they ensure that the day to day running of the school is correct especially with aspects such as behaviour, attendance and staff. If I member of staff leaves then it is up to the school governors to decide whether or not to replace them but members of the senior management team could be present during interviews for the replacement member of staff and could choose the appropriate candidate. However it is usually up to the governors to have the final say as to which candidate will be successful especially when the role is for a member of the senior management team especially head teacher. However they could have several members of the school to convey their opinion this could include students, teaching staff and other members of the senior management team.…

    Eleanor Roosevelt

    • 21 Pages

    The legacy of Eleanor Roosevelt is essentially contested. To many, her role as First Lady, delegate to the UN, Democratic Party member, humanitarian and social activist immortalized her as "the conscience of the nation". However critics - deriding her as a "gadfly" and an "unfit woman" - cite many flaws in her leadership capacity. Roosevelt was never elected to office. She was reluctant to assume the responsibilities of being the First Lady. Unlike Lincoln or King no single ‘great' speech defined her vision, passion or ideology. In effect, the success of Roosevelt is merely the result of a privileged background and simply being ‘in the right place, at the right time'. This conflict formed the starting point of our research.…
