HEAD STUDENT

ALYSHA BR ADLEY

I AM HONOURED TO BE

appointed the role of Head Girl of Craighead Diocesan School for 2022. Whilst enrolling in Craighead at Year 7 was a difficult decision, I have had the opportunity to create many wonderful memories and friendships. As Head Girl, I aspire to empower people, inspiring them to pursue their passions whilst striving for personal excellence, and embracing their individuality and identity. These are the things that I am passionate about, and I believe are crucial in our increasingly diverse school community. As a year group we wanted to build on these ideas, and decided on the theme ‘Embrace me, Build you, Love us’. We wanted the students of Craighead to celebrate their identity and individuality, supporting each other in personal growth, and accepting one another thus enabling us to come together as whānau.

Individuality is important to me and is exemplified by my involvement in a wide range of extracurricular activities and committees on offer at Craighead. Through these I have discovered my love of the technologies, arts, sports, and academia, all of which I embrace as part of who I am. As music is by far my biggest passion, I am very fortunate to have a school community that appreciates my skill and passion, challenges me to perform at my best and supports me unwaveringly.

I am thankful for the opportunities and assistance Craighead has provided for myself and my deputy Zara Coleman. I am confident that with the guidance of our Senior Leadership Team and the support of my peers in Year 13, 2022 is going to be a memorable year!
