Our student leaders are making their mark within the TAS community, as the 2023 academic year gets into full swing. Get to know our Head Boy, Samuel and Head Girl, Charlotte.
Name: Samuel
What is the most exciting thing about being a school captain?
I am excited to be Head Boy this year because I get to be involved in lots of aspects of the school and have an opportunity to connect with students from kindy to year 12.
What are you required to do as school captain?
So far, we have been involved with the welcome assemblies and greeting students in the mornings and afternoons. I would really like to be friendly and approachable and to keep building the TAS school spirit.
What one thing do you want to achieve for your school this year?
I would like to contribute and support the school sporting and performing arts groups to have as many students as possible participating and having fun.
What are your dreams for after graduation?
At the moment, I do not have a specific idea, but I really enjoy science and sport, so possibly a university degree that involves these subjects. I do also enjoy maths and music, so I suppose I will see how I feel later in the year.
Name: Charlotte
What is the most exciting thing about being a school captain?
The opportunity to be involved in, and contribute to, a much broader range of the elements of school life. I am also eager to develop and refine my organisational skills and the ability to lead a team and to be mentored and coached by experienced staff is definitely a highlight.
What are you required to do as school captain?
An essential aspect of the position is to be a positive role model and mentor for younger students and to represent the school and its’ ethos in the public domain. It’s also about providing support to the school leadership team and staff in any way I can, particularly with the practical aspects of the various functions and events in our school calendar.
What one thing do you want to achieve for your school this year?
I am dedicated to upholding the values and ethos of TAS. It is such an honour to lead the school so I would be particularly proud if I could further enhance our reputation for excellence, equality, kindness, and spirit into the broader community. I would be thrilled if I could achieve a positive connection with a range of students and be a strength to all. I would like to look back at the end of the year and see that taking the time to listen and be supportive has given many a sense of belonging and acceptance that is so very necessary to be able to navigate senior school.
What are your dreams for after graduation?
I have a passion for music (particularly piano), but also for biology and psychology, so I’m keen to undertake a double degree. I am currently considering a Bachelor of Arts and Science through the University of Queensland with the intent of also completing a post-graduate degree in Music Therapy.
