Deputy Head Girl Letter

I am writing to inform you that I am applying for the position of either Head or Deputy Head girl. First and foremost I recognise the significant and demanding nature of this role.

Additionally, I believe that my innovative nature will bring a new dynamic to the role, allowing me to approach tasks with originality, effectiveness and determination, but most importantly with enthusiasm.
As a Head girl, I would be given the opportunity to encourage and build on the qualities that our school already possesses, whilst making and putting into action suggestions that will add greater strength to the school and its
