GREGOR MCMILLAN - HEAD BOY MANIFESTO

This Monday I represented the school at Armed forces day. I attended,

raised a flag and then spoke to the various dignitaries there. A head

boy should be capable of relating to anyone, and capable of forging a

reputation as well as links that benefit the school. As proof of my

capability to do this I spoke at length with both the Lord Lieutenant,

who promised to introduce me to Lord Wilson (ex-governor of Hong

Kong) and with Sheena Richardson, the town councillor.

That evening I had a session at the CSE at Edinburgh University. Sport is

hugely important in my life. Not only have I represented the school on

numerous occasions, but also my country. This proves I can take

massive pressure, and the fact I did it for eight years, proves I have the

drive and commitment. Moreover, through sport I have also shown

that I am committed to the school. Ask Mr Cooper and he will testify to

my involvement.

On Tuesday I interviewed the candidates for the next head of

education, and had a lengthy discussion with the Director. Following

this, Mr Ledingham agreed to meet with me at a later date to moot

ideas regarding how pupil’s voices could be heard. From there I went to

the final meeting of Knox CCF. In my many years at Knox CCF I have

been given the opportunity to cultivate my ability to work in any team,

at any task, at any level. For the last year I have ran this operation and

thus I have experience at leading from the front. Moreover, many of

my qualities were shown during the campaign to save Knox CCF. I am a

firm believer in the phrase ‘stand up and be counted’ and at every stage

I clearly demonstrated my drive to represent my peers. The archives of

the Courier, the Scotsman, the Times and the inbox of many key figures

are testament to this.

Wednesday I was frustrated about S6’s lack of a home for free periods

and thus facilitated the Common Rooms grand opening. This highlights

one difference between myself and the other candidates: The

difference between ‘I’m going to’ and ‘I did’. Many people can talk.

Many people can promise. I can act.

This week I also had a few homework tasks, I handed them both in

early, just ask Mr Wren and Miss McPhee about the quality. Anyone

who has taught me will know the attitude I take in class. I exceed

targets. I meet deadlines. I work hard. I Attain. I can bring this to the

role.

From a head boy you should expect nothing less.

MANIFESTO

This week for me

has been rather

hectic, but I must

admit that it also

sums up who I

am. Thus for my

manifesto I am

doing something

a little different;

instead of listing

some carefully

chosen

adjectives, I will

tell you about

one week in my

life, and I hope

this will show you

that I am the

perfect choice for

Head Boy...
