A-level subjects: Biology, Chemistry, Maths AS Subject: Physics Transitioning into a sixth form is already a daunting task, and doing so in a completely new environment was something that initially filled me with uncertainty. However, the move to St. Olave’s was one that pleasantly surprised me and is a step I am glad I took. The Olavian community is incredibly rich in terms of all the opportunities it offers for the entire student body, all the way from the lower school to the upper school. Upon my move, I eagerly engaged in societies such as the Medics Society, which I am now Vice President of, as well as attending the numerous other societies, continuously widening my knowledge. Throughout my short time here, I have been able to grasp onto many opportunities to grow and develop myself as a person and I am very excited, privileged and appreciative of the opportunity to help contribute more directly to our school. I was always in awe of the head girls at my old school, and now that I am in a similar position, I am eager to try my hardest to make a valuable contribution. Academically, my interest lies mainly in the sciences, (particularly biology) as you can see with my A-level subjects, and I hope to study Medicine at university. Outside of school, I am involved in activities such as dance and piano, as well as volunteering schemes such as the one at Princess Royal University Hospital, and these have allowed me to gain a whole set of skills, the most important being communication, which I find myself utilising in daily life. I have enthusiastically participated in sports such as cricket and netball, being part of the school teams both here and at my prior school, and I am trying to evolve into a well-rounded individual. I believe it is extremely important to readily engage in whatever opportunities come your way, and the SPT and I hope to instil that sentiment in the student body during our tenure. As I like to say, I can quite literally start up a conversation with anyone (my Year 8 Form should know that already), so please do say hi or come have a chat if you see me around – I highly doubt that I am scary! I sincerely hope to get to know the students in school better throughout the upcoming year, and to be, as cliché as it may sound, a friendly and recognisable face.
