Teamwork, leadership and responsibility
Throughout your school career, you will have had opportunities to develop your leadership skills — as a team captain, a school council rep or leading any other kind of initiative You will have learnt that an effective leader relies on having an excellent team
In the Sixth Form at Headington you are encouraged to throw yourself into all sorts of activities where you can develop your team skills and your leadership qualities Perhaps you will mentor younger girls to help them with the academic and social challenges of Headington, or you will galvanise your peers in charity events
Whatever it is that you are passionate about, take a lead and make a difference Your passion and enthusiasm are what so enrich the School and what so impress university admissions tutors and future employers too
Some of you will go on to represent and lead the School as part of the prefect team but every Sixth Former’s loyalty, dedication and commitment are vital in securing an atmosphere in which all girls, in all years, can flourish
You will remember how much you admired, and were in awe of, senior girls when you were younger — now it is your turn to earn and deserve that admiration and respect
