St Cuthbert’s Sisterhood Meet our inspirational 2022 Student Leadership team; Ishannita Chaudhuri, Head Girl, Maia Subritzky, Deputy Head Girl, Sofia Toes, Deputy Head Girl, Tingmeng Wang, Deputy Head Girl and Sarah Lock, Head Boarder. Together, the girls have over 40 years of St Cuthbert’s experience, with Ishannita and Sofia at the College since the start of their school journey aged 5, Maia and Tingmeng starting in Year 7 and Sarah as a Boarder in Year 9.
What kind of leader are you looking to be this year? Ishannita: A good leader can take many forms. The most notable leaders are those who stand in front of the crowd and are prepared to shoulder the brunt of responsibility for the group. However, some of the best leaders are those who lead from behind; those who make sure that everyone is included and involved. I hope to embody all these aspects of a leader, so that I can become someone whom others feel comfortable talking to about any issue. Maia: I want to be a leader who is approachable to all students around the 18
College. I want to be there supporting my peers, watching them strive, and I want to take every opportunity the College has to offer. Sarah: I hope that I will be a leader not only in the Boarding house, but also in day school, sports and general St Cuthbert’s life. I aspire to be someone who is approachable, reliable, and who leads with compassion in both my words and actions, making sure every voice is heard. Sofia: I am looking to be a kind, friendly and approachable leader, so anyone can talk to me or our team if they have any problems, questions or think that there is something we can improve on.
Tingmeng: Often, it is easier to talk to other students rather than adults. I hope to be an approachable leader, allowing everyone to feel comfortable talking to me and asking questions. I want to get to know more people this year and I hope to support others to help them flourish in their own way. I look to the amazing leaders we have had, such as Carmel, as role models, who have also shaped my leadership journey so far.
What areas will you be focussing on in your role? Ishannita: As someone who loves to meet new people and create a cheerful environment wherever I go, I intend to reach out and connect with younger
