Current Leaders Ella Wells – Head Girl I am honoured to have been named Head Girl at St Margaret’s College for 2017. I have been part of this school community since Year 7. It is very special to be part of such a positive and inclusive community such as St Margaret’s, and even more special to have the privilege to help lead it. I strongly believe that the family feel of St Margaret’s, provides every girl with the opportunity to feel like they are part of something that is bigger than themselves. When going through the planning process at the end of last year, with the whole year group, we were required to chose a theme that would represent our visions for the year, as well as encompass the school’s values. The theme we came up with was ‘Capture the Moment’. This theme encourages girls to capture the numerous opportunities they are given here at St Margaret’s and make that opportunity their moment to shine. It also reminds us to stay grounded and be grateful for the moment we are in at present. Another big aspect of the theme, is the concept of making memories. While classes and grades are important, taking the time to make memorable moments is also important. We encourage girls to get involved in school events and try new things, as this will make their school years filled with amazing moments made with amazing people. This year we are aiming to build on the family feel St Margaret’s has. We want to create stronger connections between year groups so every girl can ‘capture their moment’ and find success and achievement in her opportunities in 2017. We all look forward to another amazing year. AUTUMN 2017 3.
