MEET THE NEW SCHOOL CAPTAINS

Hi everyone, my name is Esther, one of this year’s School Captains, and I would firstly like to wish you all the best for the summer break – I hope you can all enjoy some well-deserved rest! The summer is a time to reset and recharge for all of us, and taking some time for you is essential to returning positively in September.

After being asked to talk about my favourite film, some serious deliberation had to happen, it’s not an easy question after all. Despite this, I have settled on ‘The Hunger Games’. Over the years, this has grown to be one of my comfort films; Katniss Everdeen quickly became someone I aspired to be like – her strength, determination and willpower are all traits I strive to demonstrate in my daily life A close second would have to be ‘Interstellar’ though!

There are two main reason I applied to the role of School Captain: to develop my skills as an individual and, more importantly, to strengthen the Vesey community to a greater extent. During the next year, I wish to unite all of the students here as much as possible and our officer team plan to do this by intertwining house and charity events in a way that allows for inter-year group collaboration. As well as this, I hope to represent our historic school proudly by promoting the Vesey values of both academic excellence and commitment to character development.

Hi there, I’m Adi! I’ll sum myself up in 3 phrases: Maths lover, cricket aficionado and music fan (can’t beat Ed Sheeran).

Favourite film? I don’t watch much TV or movies these days but if I had to pick one, I’d go for ‘Speed’, thrilling storyline and keeps your heart pulsing right through.

Looking ahead to the new academic year, I’d like to promote the interaction between year groups to boost collaboration as well as share first-hand advice, allowing students to make the best choices for their futures Creating opportunities to those who may not put their hand up and developing important skills fellow pupils will need in their life after Vesey also matter to me.

Most of all, it’s about being a role model and representing our school with diligence and pride that will define my last year (!) at the school If you see me around school, please say hi and introduce yourself. Until then, have a good summer!

Hi everyone, I'm Tash and I am the Deputy School Captain for the upcoming year!

My favourite film has to be Titanic. The storyline is so captivating and ignites so many different emotions whilst also being interesting and having good-looking characters!

Since joining Vesey's, I've had so many different opportunities such as visiting Oxford University. I'd never been to Oxford before, so seeing all the beautiful buildings and architecture really inspired me. As the Deputy School Captain, I want to aim to increase the participation in the PSHE curriculum in all years. Personally, I believe it is very important and so I feel passionate about making sure all students receive the PSHE education they deserve.

Hi everyone, I'm Chris, and I'm deputy captain for this year. I'm so proud to have been part of the Vesey community for 6 years now, and am honoured to take on this role. Through my time at Vesey I have enjoyed pioneering the school’s use of technology with the Student Tech Comm, developing a passion for rowing and also music.

My favourite film is Napoleon Dynamite, as it is hilarious from start to finish and Jon Heder’s (Napoleon) acting is spot on.

This year, I am looking forward to meeting as many of you as possible and welcoming new students to Vesey. The school captain team have ambitious plans for the year ahead, and we are working hard to get as much done as possible to improve the Vesey experience for everyone! I am exploring options such as a vending machine for student use to reduce canteen queues, as well as the inclusion of a student-designed art piece in the exciting new LRC project.
