Pupils at St Ethelbert’s Primary School in Ramsgate have voted for head and deputy head pupils, who will be joined by a team of prefects.
During Collective Worship, a number of Year 6 children did a sterling job by standing up in front of the whole school and reading the speeches they had written, persuading the school why they wanted to become Head Boy or Head Girl.
The new Head boy and Head girl will help with the leadership of the school and represent the school at events and when there are visitors.
The whole school listened to the speeches and then went back to class to vote.
All the children in the school had one vote for Head Boy and one vote for Head girl.
Headteacher Simon Marshall said: “The speeches were confident, articulate, meaningful and even some with a touch of humour. This process enabled all children to get used to a democratic election and prepare for job opportunities later in life.
“I am very glad to announce the election winners were: Head Boy: Tobiasz Head Girl: Marnie Deputy Head Boy: Hugh Deputy Head Girl: Daniela They will be joined by a selection of new prefects (Nancy, Corbyn, Cali, Dolce, Dominykas and Viktor) who will help with the running of the school and playing with the younger children on the playgrounds during lunchtime.
“Congratulations to all the children. We are very proud of you all.”
