Welcome from our WGSG Student Leaders

Welcome from our WGSG Student Leaders

The role of our Head Students is a vital one that adds value to the student body, and to school life in general.  Head Students embody our school values and are key in representing our student cohort in key senior leadership meetings and decision making.  They contribute to school life in so many ways, conceiving of schemes and activities that enhance our collective school experience, acting as inspirational, approachable role models and generally being our student cheerleaders and champions!  This year’s Student Leaders have ambitious plans for our school in areas that they have identified as being valuable and enjoyable for us all.  Introducing;

Hello, my name is Jael-Carys, and I am honoured to introduce myself as Head Girl at WGSG. Becoming Head Girl has been a long-held aspiration of mine, and I am thrilled to have this opportunity to make a positive impact on our school community.

In this role, my primary goal is to be a voice for all students and someone they can approach with any concerns. I understand that speaking directly to a teacher can sometimes feel daunting, so I aim to bridge that gap, ensuring that every student feels heard, supported, and valued. Together with the rest of the SSLT, I also plan to strengthen the support system for younger students, helping them integrate more smoothly into school life. We’ll be doing this through various peer mentoring, coaching, and buddy programs that we are set to introduce.

WGSG is a vibrant and inclusive community, and I am committed to maintaining this spirit with my positive, approachable personality and fresh ideas. I am truly grateful for this opportunity and look forward to working with all of you throughout the academic year!

Before joining WG6 I was an internal student at WGSB; and since Year 7 it has been a long-held aspiration of mine to one day be Head Boy.

My primary goal in this role is to make WGSG the best school it can be , an inclusive , happy environment for all students where they can excel, foster positive relationships with both staff and fellow pupils and most importantly, be happy.

I plan to work closely with both students and staff to establish open communication and ensure that every voice is heard. I am beyond grateful to have been given this opportunity and I’m excited to work with you all this

Description automatically generatedHello everyone, my name is Rachael and I am excited to introduce myself as Deputy Head girl at WGSG. I have been a part of this school since 2018, and from Year 7 I have seen the growth of our wonderful and diverse community. In this role I aim to promote a positive school culture by raising more awareness for disabilities as it is something that personally affects me and I care a lot about. I’m committed to making sure every student feels heard and valued, and to do this I want to develop the relationship between older and younger students through peer mentoring and support sessions. Being careers leader, I hope to educate all year groups on the future pathways available after GCSEs and A Levels and support them in choosing their next steps. I look forward to collaborating with the other head students to make these ideas

Hello, I’m Fabian, and I am pleased to say that I’m the Deputy Head Boy at WGSG. Having attended since 2018, I’ve seen the school change – one big thing that flipped everything upside down was having to live through Covid, which reversed much of the community spirit between year groups and put a stop to the events that I enjoyed so much. As the Events Leader, I want to bring back this cohesion that I enjoyed so much in Year 7, especially events that promote the arts and humanities and their study at A Level and beyond. Additionally, another goal within this role is to promote accessibility and raise awareness, furthering the cohesion of our community through the increased understanding students have of their peers. I also hope that the increased community spirit and better-established relations in the student body lead to an improvement in attitudes to mental health and to reaching out. I aspire that within my position, younger students see proof that you shouldn’t let anyone stop you being yourself. I am endlessly grateful for the opportunities given, and I look forward to working with the community moving forward.
