Andrews House Captains book 2019

W hat does your position entail ? The position entails a maximum amount of effort when representing the school, a lot of dedication at all House functions, and the ability to perform outside of your comfort zone when necessary. You will need to give some of your lunch times to make athletic teams or write lyrics to covers of Panda in order to motivate your house. Either way it will not be all that bad so embrace it. The load is shared between the two of you so distribute tasks evenly and it will make the job a lot easier. F ive tips for you as successors • Embrace your senior peers and form a large leadership team among the House, using this to: lead the House in sport carnivals, brainstorm ideas, distribute workloads during busy periods of the year. • Stay organised especially during busier periods of the year, plan ahead especially during sports carnivals and times when your dedication is specifically necessary. • Get to know anyone and everyone, from the youngest members of the house, to people in your year level you have never spoken to, embrace opportunities to form new relationships and get to know people, trust me this is a fun one! • Set some goals at the start of your campaign and throughout your journey as a captain refer to them and find ways to continuously push your goals. For example, continuing the ‘Lion Pride’ legacy and integrating Leo into all of your carnival planning. • Don’t be afraid to ask for help - everyone surrounding you is willing to help like Ms. Lee, other teachers, other leaders, past leaders.
