I am thrilled to introduce myself as the new Head of Elm House! It is an honour to step into this role, and I am eager to embark on this journey alongside each of you. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the previous Heads of Elm House for the strong foundations they have laid.
Over the next few months, I look forward to getting to know all of you, working closely with our incredible Character Development Coaches (CDCs), and supporting our students in every way possible. My goal is to foster an environment where everyone feels valued, encouraged, and empowered to reach their full potential.
I would like to ask all students to lean into house related events and use them as an opportunity to build friendships and have fun. The next event is the Beat The Heads of House event. You can enter in teams of 5. Please speak to your CDC’s once you have your team finalised. These events can be a break from academics and should be embraced.
As we know, the most coveted prize in the house system is the house cup.Are you ready to give your all in order to win it? Are you ready to push beyond limits, to support one another, and to prove that Elm House is the greatest house of all? I believe in you. I believe in us. Together, we will lift that trophy high and the end of the year and make history!
Let’s show the other houses what Elm House is made of!
