Hello. We’re the new Head Students (2022-2023): Boris, Izzy, Jenny and Mia and we can't wait to represent our school and all the values which we hold.
The duty of Head Student is significant, and it is a critical role both internally and externally. Internally, the duty to represent students and their views, and the ability to work effectively within a team, whilst demonstrating the key quality of leadership. Externally, we take pride in taking part in various community events through the year, and in representing our school.
Additionally, we realise that the important decisions we make within our role not only affects the Sixth Form, but the wider school community - spanning Years 7-13. We are firm believers in ensuring everyone is given a safe, all-inclusive space to flourish in our wider wellbeing, as well as academically. Mental health is a rising issue and we, as a collective, want to be able to assure students that they have a safe environment in which to seek support and feel heard.
All members of our school community deserve to be heard, and we intend to listen and bring forward, to senior staff of our school, issues and topics that are in need of discussion. To do so, we will strive to develop solutions to issues students discuss with us, ensuring they feel heard and acknowledged.
We are excited to share with you the forming of Year Councils and School Council whereby we can tackle all these issues, and maintain the school's five key values: success, independence, respect, freedom with responsibility and security. This not only will be a space to share ideas, but a space for all students to express their concerns and priorities - an ideal opportunity for all students to have a say in the development of our school.
We, the Head Students, are affirmative in the belief that MCS students have some of the biggest roles to play in maintaining our positive reputation as a school within the community, and we will strive to support all students in doing so. We, ourselves, want to be able to continue this brilliant reputation within our school community by fulfilling the roles and responsibilities expected of our position; leaving behind a legacy for future Head Students to carry through.
Our Sixth Form Further Mathematicians took part in the UKMT Senior Maths Challenge this week.
