On my first day of Year 7, I remember hearing the speech of the Head Girl, and how inspired I was by what she exclaimed to my small, nervous self. Ever since that very day, I remember telling myself, one day, I want to be just like her, I want to be that person inspiring others, to create change and have a positive impact on individuals' lives. 

Being part of the JLT is important to me because I want to be able to shape a stronger school community and empower students. I want to motivate all students to work together, to achieve a shared goal, to always be resilient despite whatever they may face throughout their school journey.

Throughout my time at Ricards Lodge, one role I have been able to immerse myself in is being a Cultural Ambassador. I am proud to be able to celebrate diversity and inclusion at RLHS.

Another valuable position is as a member of the School Council and POP, I have been able to further develop skills such as confidence, communication and negotiation. 

Over the course of these years, engaging in the numerous different roles Ricards Lodge offers, I have developed core skills such as being open-minded, and collaborative which link to my desire to share and understand the broad range of views of all students.
