Starkey House Captains book 2019

F ive tips for you as successors • Be a good role model. If you interact and build relationships with the younger grades, while also maintaining a constant positive attitude, you will create House spirit that will, in turn, encourage the students to do their best for the House. • Always plan ahead and stay organised. This year will be hectic, trust us! Make sure you stay on top of your tasks for the House. Using quiet weekends and holidays to create new goals and organise teams, will be a major part of your success. • Set goals that you want to achieve each term. By creating goals, with not only Miss Green, but also with your entire Year 12 cohort, will provide inspiration and motivation for the both of you and the entire house to achieve success. Simple things, like building House spirit or organising Age Group teams by a certain date, will make the stressful times easier. • Visit each PC. Create new opportunities to build each relationship. You will learn to realise how much each student values your interest in their wellbeing. • Embrace your Year 12 cohort. The rest of your Seniors are just as much leaders as you. Involve them with brainstorms and distribute work loads during carnival preparation to make your life easier. Have faith that they will back you up and support you through the harder times.
