The school year has begun again, bringing with it new opportunities and responsibilities. The beginning of the year also brings changes in our student leaders.

Out with the old and in with the new, Georgé Wilson, 15, is BHS's new head girl.

Georgé is an aspiring CEO or business-related human resources official. She enjoys business because she views it as common sense.

She also plays the violin in the school orchestra, and plays netball.

She enjoys listening to any music that sounds good; she likes everything.

Georgé also likes to go to the movies, although she would never see a horror movie.

Georgé has completed her bronze Duke of Edinburgh Award and is currently working on attaining her silver.

She encourages others to do the award. She says it is fun and, "You learn things about people you wouldn't have known if you didn't do it."

At the end of Year 10 at BHS all of the students of that year gather together.

The students say if they want to be considered for the position of head girl.

They each give a speech explaining why they want the position and why they should be elected. Three candidates are then chosen by the Head of Secondary.

After a few weeks, there is a vote by the students of Year 10 and the teachers.

Georgé believes that she was chosen because she is generally friendly.

She does not behave exclusively, and she is not disrespectful. She also gets along well with the teachers.

Georgé aims for the school year to be a success overall. She wants everyone at BHS to have a good year.

She will also be working with the deputy head girl and the games captain to improve school spirit.

Georgé is also a part of the BHS Student Society. She wants to make a difference and lead by example.

Some of the problems Georgé wants to address in BHS are the issues with bullying and incorrect uniforms.

She is planning to lead an assembly about how it is not hard to wear the uniform properly.

Georgé is also going to be working with Ms. Robinson, the BHS Head of Secondary, and the BHS guidance counsellor, Niamah Denbrook, to combat the bullying problem.

Generally Georgé has one message that she would like to send to other young people: "Try your best to do the right thing, even if you think you cannot. — I have to do that too. — Also, don't be followers."
