Finally, let's remember that the journey ahead may have its challenges, but together, we are capable of overcoming any obstacle. Let's create an atmosphere of kindness, respect, and understanding, where we uplift and inspire one another.

In conclusion, I am truly honored and humbled by the opportunity to serve as your Head Girl. With your support and cooperation, we can make this academic year memorable and impactful for all of us. Together, let's write a story of success, friendship, and growth. Thank you for your trust, and I look forward to working with each and every one of you.

How to Write a Speech for the Election of a Head Girl

How to give an annual day speech in school.

The job of head girl is a serious one to which many students aspire. The presence of this job is common in schools in the United Kingdom. Those elected to the position are responsible for overseeing the girls in the school that they attend, monitoring their adherence to uniform code, behavior guidelines and conduct requirements. Individuals interested in this position are often required to present a speech in which she demonstrates her appropriateness for the position. Because this speech often represents her only opportunity to plead her cases, careful speech preparation is a must.

Use professional language. As a head girl, you must be both professional and reliable. Demonstrate your ability to behave maturely by developing a refined speech. While you want your speech to sound as nice as possible, you should avoid using words that you are not familiar with in an attempt to impress, as doing so could lead you to misuse vocabulary.

Address your audience. Begin your speech by thanking the student body, along with the listening school staff, for their attention. By mentioning the audience directly, you may be more effective in your attempts to draw the audience in to your speech.

Discuss your history with the school. In most cases, head girl candidates have already spent several years at their current school. Show your allegiance to your school in your speech by reflecting upon good times you have had and discussing how the school has helped you and your peers grow and mature.

Outline your appropriateness for the position. Instead of speaking in generalities and telling your audience that you are responsible and trustworthy, show them that you possess these traits. Mention specific situations in which your trustworthiness and reliability have been made evident.

Integrate some quotations. If you struggle to find just the perfect words, borrow some by integrating quotations into your speech. Use quotations from famous individuals who are relevant to your speech, allowing them to serve almost as proof of the points that you are making in your speech.

Applying for Head Boy or Head Girl at School – The Comprehensive Guide

In A-Level , GCSE , General by Think Student Editor March 29, 2021 4 Comments

Up and down the country, boys and girls apply to be Head Boy and Head Girl. These roles are common in both secondary schools and sixth form colleges. Of course, there is often competition for these high positions at school, so what is the best way to apply and have a good chance at becoming Head Boy or Head Girl?  

Table of Contents

Why Would You Want  to  Be Head Boy Or Head Girl?  

So, why should you aspire to be Head Boy or Head Girl? There are so many benefits to gaining this role , and here are a few of them:  

• This position looks great on your CV.   When you are applying for a job (especially a position of leadership), being Head Boy/Girl will show your potential employer that you have had experience in leadership and organising things. Not to mention the people skills being Head Boy/Girl will give you.   
• Being Head Boy/Girl gives you experience in leadership and organisation –  you will most likely be asked to attend events outside of school time and play a part in organising these events too, which will give you an idea as to what it is like to have a position of leadership in the future (possibly even your career).  
• The position usually sets your university application apart from the rest.  If you are looking to apply to university (especially Russell Group Universities), being a Head Boy/Girl shows them that you have the enthusiasm to study at their university. However, it is important to remember that being Head Boy/Girl will not guarantee your place at university – academic ability takes precedence.  It is also important to note that certain universities (including Oxford) do not look at whether you were Head Boy or Girl at all on your application.   

Think About What  the  Role May Involve  

The amount of work you are given to do as Head Boy or Girl may differ depending on your school,  and it is important to think about the responsibilities you will have to take on before you  apply.   

Head Boys and Girls tend to be involved with events which happen outside of school time such as networking events and parent’s evenings for any year group.  Being a Head Boy or Girl means that you are setting the example for the school , so you will probably be needed at open evenings for prospective students and subsequently  Year 6 induction days.  You should be willing to turn up to these events, and they should take priority over any extracurricular activities you may be a part of.  Because you are setting the example for younger students, your grades at school may play a part in whether you are picked to be Head Boy or Girl.  

As a Head Boy or Girl, you may also be required to deliver speeches to a variety of people , whether it be staff, your own year group, or those lower down the school than you.  This means that you will need at least basic public speaking skills.  

No matter where you become Head Boy or Girl, it will require dedication to what you are doing . A good Head Boy or Girl will put work into everything they organise and show enthusiasm about their role in the school.  

Before you apply for the role of Head Boy or Girl, you should have a good think about whether it is the role for you. Remember, if you decide it isn’t, there are plenty more positions you could take up which may be more suited to you with the same prestige as Head Boy or Girl.   

What Qualities Do You Need  to  Be Head Boy or Girl?  

The majority of  schools have a good idea/picture as to how they want their Head Boy and Girls to behave, and the qualities that they want them to have.  Firstly, you must be willing to take on the responsibilities that the position would involve – writing speeches, meeting new people and being there when and where you are needed.  The whole point of being a Head Boy or Girl is to take on a huge responsibility for the school, so if you are not willing, then maybe it’s not the position for you.   

One of the most important skills you need to be a Head Boy or Girl are leadership skills.  You will most likely be asked to organise events either by yourself or with the other Head Boy/Girl opposite you, and you will most definitely need resilience and management skills to do this. Of course , being Head Boy/Girl is an opportunity to work on these qualities/skills through experience,  but you must have some idea of what you are to do when you apply for the position.   

Another important skill which schools tend to look for is public speaking.  Head Boys and Girls must deliver speeches to their fellow students, as mentioned above. However, do not worry if you feel like this is a weak spot of yours – there are many ways in which you can improve your public speaking before you apply for your position.  For example,  delivering speeches to your friends or family may improve your confidence in speaking in front of people .  For some  more  ideas about how to improve your public speaking, check out  Better Public Speaking – Becoming A Confident, Compelling Speaker .   

Something which some schools may look at is your involvement with the school in general. You may want to join clubs or other extracurricular activities so that your school knows how you interact with the school as a student before you as a Head Boy or Girl.  Schools often looks for Head Boys and Girls who are very enthusiastic about school both in and out of the classroom.  

If you want to read more about the qualities that schools look for in Head Boys and Girls, I would recommend that you have a read of  this useful article , which discusses the top qualities that a Head Boy/Girl should have.   

Famous Head Boys  And  Girl s  

You may be surprised to find out that  many famous faces have been Head Boy or Girl during their time at school.   For some, it  is possible that  their position  at school  even helped them get to where they are today!  

Famous actors who have been Head Boy and Girl include  Kate Winslet  (Titanic) , Matt Smith  (Doctor Who) , Hayley Atwell  (Captain America) , Jenna Coleman  (Doctor Who)  and Christopher Eccleston  (Doctor Who) .   

Notable politicians who were Head Boy or Girl at their schools were  Jeremy Hunt, Alison McGovern and Margaret Thatcher.  

Other famous faces who were Head Boy or Girl include  J.K Rowling  (author, Harry Potter series) , Leigh-Anne Pinnock ( singer,  Little Mix), Prince Charles and Princess Beatrice.   

These all did it, and so could you!  

Tips  For  Applying For Head Boy or Girl  

Obviously,  the way in which you apply for Head Boy or Girl will determine your chance of getting the position , so it is important to really have a think through each step of the process.  The three most common application techniques for Head Boy or Girl are application letters, in-person interviews and speeches, so here are some ways in which you can polish up your skills for them.   

Effectively Compose Your Head  B oy/ G irl  Le tter  

When applying to be Head Boy or Girl in most schools, you will be asked to write a letter to  a senior staff member stating your reasons as to why you want the position.  This letter could be  written to your Head of Year, Head of Sixth Form, or even your Headteacher – it will all depend on which school you go to, so make sure you check!   

Your letter should show off examples of when you have shown the qualities which your school is looking for in their Head Students.  Perhaps you have shown teamwork skills in your sports team or have shown leadership skills when organising a charity event in the past. You should also mention how being Head Boy or Girl would benefit you personally (try not to make it sound as if you only want the position to put it on your CV). It is good to mention the experiences you are looking to gain by being Head Boy or Girl. You may also want to consider discussing the issues that you would like to face within your school, and what practical solutions you have come up with to improve them (if you are looking for ideas,  this article   could be very useful!).   

Of course,  the application letter should use accurate, good English , and you should  proofread  it multiple times.  Leaving spelling and grammar mistakes in your letter will leave a bad impression on the school  and will significantly lower your chances of being asked back for an interview. The best way to proofread your letter is to read it aloud or get your family and friends to read it  as they are more likely to spot mistakes which you might have missed.  

Most importantly, in your application letter, you should really introduce yourself to the reader. Let them know about your hobbies, interests and possible future career paths. This will bring a sense of uniqueness to your application, and make you stand out from the rest. If you don’t do this, your letter could be boring to read.   

Prepare For Your Head Boy/Girl Interview  

If your letter of application is successful, you will be asked to meet a member of staff for an interview.  This may seem nerve-wracking, especially if you are applying to be a younger Head Boy or Girl at your school, but there is no need to panic!  

You should treat this interview as you would a job interview  – following these simple rules can ensure that you appear as a worthy candidate for the role.  

• Arrive early/on time.  Turning up late to your interview, no matter when it is, will give a bad impression of you to your interviewer. If you cannot turn up on time for your interview, then how are you going to be on time to an open evening or speech in the future? Arriving early will show preparedness for your interview and enthusiasm for the position.  
• Dress appropriately . Again, not doing this will create a bad first impression for your interviewer. You may be asked to wear your school uniform if you have one . Make sure you have the basics covered – shirt tucked in, tie straightened, hair tidied, and shoes polished. If you are in sixth form, you should arrive in clothes which are smart, modest and not too uncomfortable – you don’t want to be distracted by your clothes while talking to your interviewer. For more information about what you should and shouldn’t wear to an interview, check out  What Should You Wear  To  A University Interview.    
• Have a think about what you want to talk to your interviewer about  – they may ask about why you applied for the position again, and past experiences you have had with leadership and public speaking. You will most likely be discussing what you have written in your application letter, so it is important not to lie. By thinking through what you want to say beforehand, you will be giving yourself some confidence for when you walk into the interview room.   
• Thoroughly read the email or letter about your interview . Some schools may ask you to deliver a speech to your interviewer for them to see your public speaking skills. You don’t want to turn up unprepared for something you could have made preparations for beforehand.  Read on for some tips on writing and delivering your speech.  

Write Your Head  B oy/ G irl  S peech  

You may be asked to deliver a speech either before or after you get given the role of Head Boy or Girl . As stated above, some schools get their applicants to show an example of their public speaking through them delivering a speech.   

By the time you are applying for Head Boy or Girl, you will have probably studied speech writing in your English Language classes, but here are a few tips to keep in mind when writing a speech for Head Boy or Girl.   

• Use paragraphs . This may seem obvious, but it is a technique that many students tend to forget when coming up with a speech. Each paragraph you write should have a slightly different topic, however, these topics will of course depend on the general topic of your speech.   
• Use anecdotes and personal experiences to make yourself more relatable to your audience.  By doing this, you are making yourself more likeable, and using an advanced literary technique at the same time.  
• Make sure that you know exactly what your point is and what you want to convey.  There’s no use in writing a speech with no clear conclusion – you should ensure that you know exactly what you want the audience to gain from listening to you. 
• Proofread your speech! The most important thing to ensure when writing a speech is that it makes sense – if you can’t understand your own speech, then how can you expect your audience to? You may want to ask a friend or family member to do this for you as a fresh pair of eyes often helps when spotting mistakes.
• Practice!  It is a bad idea to turn up on the day and recite your speech for the first time. It doesn’t matter if you are memorising your speech or reading it from a script – you will need practice in delivering it. This is another good way to proofread your speech while also practicing the way you want to deliver it.  Perhaps you would like to put emphasis on certain words or phrases, or simply just need to go over it a few times to help with some tricky parts which you find difficult to read aloud.   

What If You Don’t Get It?  

If you don’t end up getting offered the position of Head Boy or Girl, then there is no reason to panic!  You will be given plenty more opportunities in the future for positions and experiences which look just as prestigious on your CV. As stated at the beginning of the article,  being Head Boy or Girl will not swing the decision of  whether or not  you get into university.  

It is also important to remember that if you are applying to be Head Boy or Girl  from Year 7 to 11, then you will most likely have another chance to apply for the position again in sixth  form  –  you could even use this time to prepare for the application process even more!  

If you are looking to apply for Head Boy or Girl, you should definitely consider the tips given in this article as they will boost your chances of being successful by a lot. Remember, there are lots of applicants for this position every year up and down the country, so you shouldn’t be hard on yourself if your application is unsuccessful. If you have applied to be Head Boy or Girl lower down the school, you can always apply again in the future for your sixth form.   

i really like this . it was really creative .

When can you apply to this position? At the start of year, or during summer? Is it okay to apply in the mid term or something ?

in my school they do it near the end of year 10 so around late may to early June

Wow….this is incredibly helpful. Thank you

Head Boy & Head Girl Speeches: A Student’s Top 10 Tips

Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered with our top 10 tips for creating and presenting memorable speeches. These expert tips will help you make sure your speech is unique and engaging enough to get students fired up about student leadership opportunities at your school.

With these simple pointers, you can craft a powerful address that leaves a lasting impact on all those who hear it. So let’s get started and turn your speech into something truly special!

• 1 Define Your Goals
• 2 Identify Your Audience
• 3 Brainstorm Ideas
• 4.1 Introduction
• 4.2 Body Content
• 4.3 Conclusion
• 5 Craft The Body Of Your Speech
• 6 Practice And Rehearse
• 7 Conclusion

Define Your Goals

As head boy and head girl, it is important to set goals that will allow us to pursue our passions and lead with integrity.

Take the example of John, a student leader in his final year at school who had two main objectives: to help create an inclusive environment for all students and to shine as a role model for younger generations.

To accomplish these ambitions, John embraced challenges, planned strategies, and worked diligently towards achieving success. He was unafraid to take risks; he knew that by doing so he could unlock new opportunities for himself and others.

Throughout this process, John remained true to himself; he did not let fear or negativity steer him away from his purpose. If obstacles arose during the journey, he would reflect on them and use what he learned going forward.

This kind of open-mindedness enabled him to grow into a more confident individual while helping those around him reach their highest potentials.

By having clear objectives in mind, embracing challenges along the way, and planning effective strategies accordingly – we too can strive towards becoming successful leaders within our community!

Identify Your Audience

When giving a speech as head boy or head girl, it is critical to identify your audience. Knowing who you are speaking to will help you create an effective message that resonates with the crowd.

Analyze the age group of those attending, their interests and passions, and any other relevant information related to the context of your speech.

Once you have identified your audience, use this knowledge to engage peers emotionally and connect with them on a personal level. If possible, tailor certain parts of your speech specifically for the crowd in front of you – such as references to specific events or stories they can relate to.

Remember that no matter how well prepared you may be, if your words don’t capture people’s attention or draw out their emotions, then all of your hard work won’t mean much when delivering the speech itself.

A great way to make sure that doesn’t happen is by engaging with fellow students before taking the stage so you know exactly what messages resonate best with them. Ultimately, knowing your audience inside-and-out will ensure everyone gets something positive from listening to your speech!

Brainstorm Ideas

As the head boy or girl of a school, it can be daunting to write and present an engaging speech that your peers will appreciate. But with a few simple tips, you’ll be able to craft a powerful speech that will leave your audience inspired.

Start by developing confidence in yourself – think about why you were chosen for this role and how you are uniquely suited to take on this challenge.

Then research topics related to student leadership or what matters most to the students at your school. Doing so will give you insight into the issues that matter most to those who will hear your words. This research is key in crafting a relevant and unique message tailored specifically for your audience.

Once you understand their wants and needs, begin writing down specific points that resonate with them and focus on using clear language when speaking out loud.

Incorporate stories from personal experiences as well as humorous anecdotes which provide interesting visuals for your listeners to remember long after they’ve left the auditorium.

With practice comes mastery and soon enough delivering an impactful speech won’t feel like such an overwhelming task!

Structure Your Speech

Introduce yourself, your cause and your credentials in the introduction to make a great impression.

In the body content, explain your points with examples and use transitions to keep your speech flowing.

The conclusion should be concise and memorable.

Timing is key, so practice your speech and make sure it is within the allocated time.

The tone of your speech should be professional yet friendly.

Eye contact will help you to connect with the audience, so practice making meaningful contact.

Engage the audience with interesting stories and anecdotes.

Use language that is clear and direct, and ensure your delivery is strong and engaging.

Visual aids can help to emphasize your points, so use them judiciously.

Practice your speech several times, and strive for brevity to keep your audience’s attention.

Humour can be powerful, but use it sparingly and with confidence.

Rehearse in front of family and friends to get feedback and to build your confidence.

Introduction

As the Head Boy or Girl of your school, it’s important to make sure that you structure your speech in a way that connects with your audience. By laying groundwork and building credibility, you can ensure that your message resonates.

To start off strong, create an introduction that will hook the listener into wanting to hear more about what you have to say. Use pronouns and contractions for a conversational feel, but also avoid making any grandiose claims as this may diminish your credibility.

Additionally, be mindful of how much time you are taking up – no one likes speeches that veer on forever! Make sure to keep it short, sweet and memorable by finding creative ways to express yourself without going over-the-top.

Body Content

Once you’ve got your introduction down, the next step is to focus on your body content.

This is where you deliver the bulk of your message and inspire peers with a confident delivery.

It’s important to stay organized so that the audience can follow along – use bullet points or numbered lists when appropriate.

Additionally, make sure to take pauses throughout for emphasis and keep things exciting by using stories or anecdotes as examples.

You should also try to include moments of reflection or contemplation as this helps build suspense in anticipation of what comes next.

Finally, remember that it’s not just about what you say but how you say it – vary up your tone depending on the point you’re making and be sure to inject some emotion into your speech!

Doing all these will help ensure that people walk away feeling inspired and motivated by the words they heard from their Head Boy/Girl.

When you reach the conclusion, it’s time to wrap up your speech and leave a lasting impression.

To help drive home your message, invite feedback from the audience – this will give them an opportunity to engage with you further and not just feel like they’re merely listening.

Additionally, use clear language when summarizing what was said throughout your speech so that everyone is on the same page in terms of understanding. This kind of clarity helps communicate what needs to be done moving forward in order for students to succeed as leaders.

As Head Boy/Girl, it’s important to always keep your peers engaged and motivated – never forget that!

So go out there and make sure you end on a high note by inspiring those around you with confidence and enthusiasm as you strive towards achieving common goals together.

Craft The Body Of Your Speech

As a student leader, crafting the body of your speech is essential to make it both informative and memorable. It’s important to ensure that you include relevant information while being conscious of time management. To help you in this endeavor, here are 10 tips for creating an engaging yet meaningful speech:

Invite feedback from peers and teachers regarding your content; it could provide valuable insight into the effectiveness of delivery.

Develop confidence by practicing your talk in front of friends or family before delivering it publicly. This will give you the opportunity to get comfortable with speaking in front of others and strengthen any weak areas in your presentation.

Use stories when possible – these humanize experiences and can add depth to abstract concepts.

Utilize humor appropriately as this helps to keep attention levels high during longer talks.

Keep language simple but powerful, avoiding complex words that may not be understood by everyone within the audience.

Your aim should always be to hold their interest throughout so they come away feeling inspired or motivated by what was said; use personal examples where appropriate as these often resonate with listeners more than general statements do.

Don’t forget to leave room for questions at the end if people need clarification on certain points or if they would like further details on something related to your topic. If delivered correctly, a head boy/head girl speech can have lasting impact and motivate others towards positive change!

Practice And Rehearse

The path to success doesn’t have a one-way street. It takes practice, dedication and determination to be an effective head boy or girl – it doesn’t happen overnight!

For example, if you want to give the perfect speech on election day, you must begin practicing and rehearsing your words well in advance. This is not only important for helping with memorization but also improves confidence when discussing ideas in front of others.

Rehearsing is especially critical when it comes to delivering speeches as it allows you to gauge audience reaction before actually speaking. It’s also beneficial to discuss potential topics with a mentor who can provide guidance throughout the process. Doing this will help ensure that your words are powerful enough to capture attention while accurately conveying your message.

So don’t forget: regular practice makes perfect! With hard work, persistence and proper mentorship, any aspiring head boy or girl has the ability to make their dreams of being elected come true.

The speech you deliver as a student leader should be a reflection of your passion and commitment to the cause. Your words will stay with your peers long after you have finished speaking, so it’s important that they are meaningful and inspiring.

To make sure you nail your head boy or head girl speech, remember these ten tips. With careful planning and practice, you can create an impactful message that resonates with everyone in the room!

Think of your audience as a garden – every word is like planting a seed, which needs to be nurtured if it’s going to blossom into something beautiful. Your goal is to cultivate an environment where their ideas flourish and shine throughout the entire school year.

You’ve got this!

Speech for School Election

An election is one of the essential pillars of democracy, and it is through this democratic system that people can choose the representatives of their choice who they feel have the capability to become leaders. Here are some speeches for the school election.

10 Lines Speech for School Election

"Somewhere inside us is the power to change the world."

1. A pleasant morning to all my friends who are present here. As we are aware, today is school election day. The fact that you are here shows that I have your support.

2. The decision to contest the student council election was challenging. But If you aspire to help the people around you, solve their problems and work for their interests.

3. A school provides the first opportunity to give wings to your dreams.

4. We all are fortunate to study in this excellent school where students have ample opportunities to explore, expand and excel.

5. Being a student takes work; becoming a school leader will take a lot of work.

6. But I assure you, if I win the election, I will work for the benefit of all of us.

7. If you would like the school to introduce an introductory Artificial Intelligence course as a vocational subject or provide excellent quality food in the canteen, I will vouch for that.

8. Friends, I believe in working as a team. No leader can survive alone, and the best results are obtained when the interests of everyone are taken care of.

9. I stand for justice and won't let you down if you choose me.

10. As I conclude my speech, I urge all of you to vote for me and give me a chance to take this school to greater heights.

Short Speech for School Election

"If there was one thing you could change about this school, what would it be!"

A pleasant morning to everyone present here. I am so happy to see all of you in active mode, and this points to your support for me.

Once Abraham Lincoln said, "Of the people, by the people, for the people." This describes the essence of democracy; in a democratic country, people can choose their government by themselves without any pressure.

Elections are the best tool if they are used relatively and no malpractice is allowed. Candidates should remember this if people have the right to choose them and will enable them to run the government, and if they don't, then they can be overthrown as well by the people. They are free to vote for any candidate according to their preferences.

Election gives us the power to choose the best leader in every session. If one is not performing up to the mark, he can be replaced in the next voting session. An election is an excellent opportunity for people to voice their dissatisfaction. People can replace undesirable leadership with a better alternative through the election.

With my experience and passion, I could be a great leader. I promise to do my best to curb bullying, increase student interest in school and increase overall academic achievement.

Long Speech for School Election

"Voting is the expression of our commitment to ourselves and one another."

Firstly, let me thank you all for your presence here today. As you all know that I am running for the Presidential post in the upcoming school council election, I would like to use this opportunity to share my views about the kind of work I would love to do for the welfare of the school and the students.

"Of the people, by the people, for the people," stated Abraham Lincoln once. This sums up democracy in its most basic terms; citizens make their own, pressure-free decisions about their government. Same way, students can make these decisions to elect a candidate for the presidential post for the school student council.

As a student, I feel that education is not just the pillar of success for us. We all need good services, be it infrastructure, adequate counseling, focus on extracurricular activities, and vocational courses on personality development. Being a student takes work; becoming a student leader is challenging. Today, I am feeling the same while addressing you and asking for your support in the election.

If I Get Elected

It is rightly said, “with great power comes great responsibility”.

If I get elected, my first work would be to improve the sanitation and hygiene of the students. I shall ensure that our playground and the parking lot are appropriately maintained and sanitized. I am also considering seeking confirmation from the administration to allow two game periods a day, considering the workload we have.

We are thinking of implementing a photography course and piano classes as vocational subjects in the coming days, and our team is working hard to achieve all these goals. If given this opportunity, I shall fight for equality, justice, and transparency for our student council, where every student gets a chance to raise their voice.

Sadhguru once said, "Integrity, Insight, and Inclusiveness are the three essential leadership qualities". We also believe in the same principle of leading an organization or a system, where our sole aim is to take care of the interests of the students of our school so that they get the best education, health, and hygiene facilities. All these factors are essential for their overall development, as well as for the school's progress too.

Our focus is not just on academic progress, but we also have our priorities set on co-curricular activities and sports. We plan to allocate more coaches in games like volleyball, cricket, football, badminton etc to all sports enthusiasts who want to pursue a career in this field.

With my experience and passion, I think I could be a great leader. Friends, I also believe in working as a team, and fighting for justice, whenever the need arises. Together with me, let us work for the well-being of the student and the school. Choose your vote wisely, and may the best person win.

How to Say Students to Vote For You | School Election Speech

You have been nominated for the post of School Prefect or Headboy/Headgirl. That’s a moment to celebrate but you don’t know how to say students to vote for you in the student council election. Besides you, other students have also been nominated so there will be a competition to win the seat.

At this time you need a head girl/head boy speech. But the chances are really few that you will get a perfectly fine speech which is apt for your temperament and mindset. In that case, the following tips to write a prefect speech could lessen your drudgery.

Tips to write a Prefect Speech

By including the following pointers in your class representative speech, you could raise your winning probability.

• tenure in school
• what you feel about your school
• how the school helped you to evolve
• write some of your qualities
• what you think about leadership
• how you would help students
• ask them to vote in your favour

Short Speech for Student Council Election

Hi everyone!

I am one of the three candidates running for the position of head prefect. Since I began my journey in DAV 5 years ago, I feel that my school is my second home. It has given me and the student body many opportunities to improve ourselves in different areas. Our school has helped us broaden and explore ourselves in new areas.

The school helped me to discover my strength and talent which, I believe, are the most valuable things in life. These are my pillars of support that do not waver in difficult situations. That is the reason for getting a sense of belonging here. To me, leadership is the commitment to serve and to be courageous. Committing means being dedicated to something. Committed to courage means that in the face of uncertainty you do not back out.

If you can correlate with my definition of commitment and courage, you can elect me in the upcoming elections. I hope that you would give me a chance to prove myself. Thank You!

In the British School System Head Boys and Head Girls are selected each year from an institution’s highest class of students. Each academic institution selects or elects a Head Boy and Head Girl in a slightly different manner. The Head Boy and Head Girl are expected to serve as role models to the student body, representatives of the school, and coordinators of student activities. While the roles are accompanied by a myriad of responsibilities, it also provides students with numerous opportunities.

• Strong leader
• Effective communicator
• Polished public speaker

Share a quick video tip and help bring articles to life with your friendly advice. Your insights could make a real difference and help millions of people!

• Be very formal. It is most likely that you don't know your Headteacher that well and you should start on the right foot. Thanks Helpful 2 Not Helpful 1
• You must sell yourself, and promote yourself to the Headteacher. It may sound arrogant, but you must do this to show them how good you are! Thanks Helpful 1 Not Helpful 1
• Ask the Head Boy or Head Girl from the previous year for advice! Thanks Helpful 3 Not Helpful 1

Tips from our Readers

• Only volunteer for head boy/girl if you think you can fulfill the responsibilities of a head boy/girl. You may have to give speeches in front of the school or give yours to new students.
• When asking teachers for recommendations, give them examples of past achievements so they can be specific about your positive qualities and accomplishments.
• Just be yourself! Head Boy and Head Girl don't always have to have the best grades, but they do have to be respectful and motivated.
• Always try your best to be helpful and kind to your peers, even if they don't treat you the same way.

• Be honest. You never know when they may ask you to prove a statement that you have made in your letter and if it proves false, you have no more chances of proceeding. Thanks Helpful 249 Not Helpful 42
• If you have any school disciplinary problems, such as having been suspended from school, this will take a negative effect on you becoming head boy/girl at your school. This is because in some cases, the suspension goes on your permanent record, lowering the chances of you achieving the role. A detention or two is fine, but don't get too many or you will have a lower chance of getting the role. Thanks Helpful 62 Not Helpful 9
• When you are given the responsibility, Do not abuse your power or you may get impeached. Thanks Helpful 41 Not Helpful 7
• When you are writing your application letter, be sure to make it formal else you will have less chances of been a prefect. Thanks Helpful 37 Not Helpful 7

In some schools, the head boy and girl have to be nominated by a teacher. However, if your school lets you, you should nominate yourself. Once you’re nominated, you might be asked to write a letter of application, explaining why you’d be good for the role and what suitable experience you have. You should also practice giving speeches in front of a mirror, since this will be a big part of the role. For more tips, including which qualities schools look for in a head boy and girl, read on!

Speech for School Elections – Head Boy

I, Aditya Thakur, was elected as the Head Boy of  Sacred Heart Senior Secondary School.  In this blog, I present the speech that got me elected.

Table of Contents

Speech for head boy elections.

Good morning everyone,

Another year; another school election and all the prospective candidates have lined up to tell you why you should vote them to power. When I was your age, I didn’t like standing and listening to the ‘to be leaders’ discourse at great length about their qualities and explaining how great they were and surely after some time it got all boring and I simply waited for it to end.

So, before penning down my speech the first thing I did was to google “How to make ‘ Sacred Heartians ’ pay attention.” Teachers say it is impossible but I thought of giving it a try. And, what I found was: ‘Tell your voters the truth to keep them Hooked’ .

Hence, for starters for the people who don’t know me. My name is  Aditya Thakur  and I am not a Terrorist neither an Alien. I have been around for over 10 years now. You might have seen me moving around the campus with a camera in my hand or poking on the music system during Annual Function or even better for my percentage in 10th standard which surprisingly was  96.7 %

The post I am contesting the elections for is that of the Head Boy aka the Supreme Commander or the figurative head of the Students Council.

Before filing my application I made up a list of qualities which a Head Boy should possess…

A head boy needs to assume leadership and be a representative. Something which I have been doing since 1st grade. It also includes going out and asking for games during my free period, I am a lot experienced in that.

The next thing is something that  Sister Molly  has often mentioned ‘A leader should have a Vision!’ I too have one that is to provide an approachable leadership where you are free to voice your opinions and raise your concerns. I want you all to discover your Inherent talents and make this year worth remembering for you.

Another trait a leader should possess is Courage which in simple terms means the ability to go up to  Sister’s office .

A leader needs to be passionate, disciplined, and an eloquent speech maker at which I am fairly good. He needs to know when to take the blame and How to share the praise. He needs to have the ability to formulate and shape the future rather than being shaped by the events. And, I am ready to be him that is the Head Boy of  Sacred Heart Senior Secondary School.

My name is  Aditya Thakur  and I would be elated if you cast your votes in my favor.

– Thank You!

Does this Head Boy Election Speech work?

This speech worked for me and I ended up becoming the Head Boy of the school for the tenure.

It has worked for a number of my subscribers on YouTube. A lot of them have called it the best speech for the Head Boy election in school.
