HEAD STUDENTS JAMIE ROBERTS & CHARLOTTE STACK

-

Aschool full of opportunit­ies is how this year’s Head Students, Jamie Roberts and Charlotte Stack, describe their experience­s at Geraldine High School. Both students started in Year 7 and have first-hand knowledge of the many aspects of school life on offer for all students, whether they be academic, sporting or cultural.

‘Geraldine High School is a place where we can all grow as people, forming positive relationsh­ips with our peers and staff along the way,’ they say. This is particular­ly appropriat­e given the school’s theme for the year is Inclusion. ‘Our theme of inclusion this year is around involving all students and staff at Geraldine High School as one.’

Head Girl Charlotte credits her time at Geraldine High School as a fantastic opportunit­y to grow and excel academical­ly and to develop her leadership skills. While studying a wide range of subjects, Charlotte is also a keen sportspers­on. ‘The opportunit­ies at Geraldine High School in sport have been something I’ve cherished as they have helped me become more confident and have helped me build a great work ethic.’

It is a sentiment shared by Head

Boy Jamie. ‘The diverse range of subjects, as well as the many extracurri­cular opportunit­ies at Geraldine High School is something everyone should try to make the most of.’ One such opportunit­y saw Jamie take part in an exchange programme in Argentina. ‘It really showed me how different schools can be, and how lucky we are to have the facilities we have here.’

Both students feel very honoured to have been appointed Head Students for 2020 and they are looking forward to working alongside their Deputy Head students, other members of the school’s student executive, and the wider school community this year.

‘Geraldine High School is a place where we can all grow as people, forming positive relationsh­ips with our peers and staff along the way.’
