The Courage of Being Head Girl See Me After Class

    • Education

Holding a representative position in a school is a complex task. These roles often sit uncomfortably between the adults and the students in the school, and thrust their holders into the limelight, with all the commentary and expectations that go with this. Arguably these expectations are even more challenging for the female exponents. We talk to our head girl from 2020 about her year, the kind of courage the role has demanded of her - and she shares with us the speech, and exhortation, she presented to the community and school at this year's school prize-giving.

Siena also announces one of the head students for 2021, who is a voice you may have heard before in an earlier episode of this podcast.
