Zachary Thomas

This is something I was recently appointed. I am in charge of organising fundraising and general events. The next event that I am planning is for culture day in november.

This was a role that was a great learning experience for me. Me along with the other prefects were in charge of running many of the events. On one occasion raised around £720 in the first 5 minutes of break due to good advertisement and a good cause. I also did a large amount of public speaking in assemblies and had to talk to everyone of all years. This enabled me to build on my public speaking skills as well as my confidence when talking to strangers.

This was a short project that I was chosen for by the school that was run by the talent foundry. The aim was to teach us about project management and they did this by bringing in members of the network rail who talked to us about their experiences and responsibilities. We learned about things like: budgeting; working with time frames; contracting and much more.

I participated in this competition to have the best wildlife conservation effort. We worked as a team to brainstorm ideas and worked together to put them in action. In the end we set up several bird-feeders on the roof to the school with plans to continually fill them up. Our team won the competition.
