We've all been hanging out outside more recently, so we thought we would catch up with our current and future Head Boys and Girls in our MIllennium Garden to chat about their experiences, hopes for the future and what they would like to say to their school community. Our pupil leaders are elected by their teachers and peers and are shining examples of our core values of 'hard work and integrity'- we think they're pretty awesome young people and, when you meet them, you will will too! #PupilLeaders #industriaetprobitate #HardWorkAndIntegrity #YoungAmbassadors #Headboy #HeadGirl #makeitcount #opportunity #PositiveRoleModels #icecreamorchips #TheBestBits #hopes #brightfutures #iampartofballyclarehigh
