Senior Prefect Head of House Hild

Hi I am Shaz, as head prefect of Saint Hild my role is to welcome all the new Hild students into All Saints Academy and make them feel comfortable and included as well as the other students in Hild. This relates to our house values of inclusiveness and equality. My job is to work with the rest of the prefects in my year and ensure that we are doing our best to create a safe and welcoming environment not just for the new students but the whole school and to prepare them for their first year and all the way to year 11. Furthermore, as head of Hild my role is to take on board ideas and feedback to my teachers whether it’s ideas about charities or the wellbeing of students.

One of the reasons why I wanted to become a Head Prefect was due to Prefects in the years before me who were able to help me and make me feel welcome and comfortable, as someone who was once in a different house, moving into Hild allowed me to me feel more comfortable and equal in school as the prefects were kind hearted and treated me like their own friend. I want to be able to create that same environment for other students in Hild. I want students to feel completely assured and confident at school. I completely understand how it may feel to be unsettled at school and be able to erase that stress and worry. Furthermore, starting a new school is never easy. Many students can be excited, however, there are those who will struggle and feel like they have no one. To change that I feel the need to create a close bond/friendship with students, so they always have someone to talk to or to ask for help.

For Hild house this year, our aim is to raise money and awareness for the Tees River Rescue, this will help to keep the Tees safe for all to enjoy. We hope to achieve this by hosting charity events, educating young people and raising money. Hopefully, we can raise more this year and help a lot more people and get people involved.

My personal aim this year is to make all the new students feel welcome and communicate a lot more and take myself out of my comfort zone to show students that school is a safe place and Hild stands by its House values:

Inclusiveness and equality.
