Haileybury’s 2022 School Captains have been selected and, as they step into their role, we asked them what they are looking forward to most about leading their fellow students.

Haileybury College

School Captain Angus Angelatos: “I’d like to motivate my peers to put effort into everything they do and communicate the importance of working collaboratively, getting involved and dreaming big. I hope to develop a sense of community where everyone feels empowered to have their views heard…There’s a bitter-sweet feeling knowing this will be the last chapter for Year 12s but we’ll squeeze out every bit of enjoyment we can.”

School Vice Captain Gerry Angelatos: “I hope to inspire students to venture outside their comfort zone and get involved in new opportunities. A big focus of mine will be the mental health of students and ensuring that there is a real sense of connections within our school. For me, it’s all about Haileybury as a collective group and not just individuals.”

School Vice Captain Anirudh Kathirvel: “I’m looking forward to working with an amazing team—I think that, working together, the sky’s the limit. I want to place an emphasis on respect, not only towards others but also self-respect and holding yourself accountable. Haileybury has taught me to be more driven and inspired me to do so much more than I ever thought I could.”

Sport Captain Jakob Anderson: “I want to continue to mould a safe and welcoming environment for all students so they can take part in the sports they love. After all, Haileybury Sport builds character. I want to help drive an inclusive, challenging and supportive culture while encouraging others to make champion choices on and off the field.”

Haileybury Girls College

School Captain Victoria Paitaridis: “I am so hopeful that, fingers crossed, we get a proper year at school with the chance to fully enjoy everything Haileybury has to offer. Students have a breadth of interests and talents—it will be our job to create opportunities for students to thrive in their passions and add something to the School and their own lives.”

School Vice Captain Wini Vudiniabola:

“I am looking forward to working with the other student leaders and representing the Haileybury Senior School cohort and the School’s values. I hope to make student life at Haileybury greater and to strengthen the student dynamic between the boys and girls schools. At Haileybury, I have been exposed to opportunities which have helped shape me into the person I am today.”

School Vice Captain Zara Scammell: “I am excited to be a representative for the student voice, initiating change when due, as well as continuing to foster the principles of the School. Making the School a safe, inclusive and respectful environment will be my main objective. I am excited to be working with a fantastic group of captains and teachers.”

Sport Captain Josie Lawton: “I hope to continue the outstanding reputation of Haileybury and the spirit of the Hearts through inclusivity, encouragement, support and innovative ideas. As Sport Captain, I aim to promote the benefits of movement and activities contributing to health and mental wellbeing for students and teachers. My journey at Haileybury has been enjoyable, educational and rewarding.”
