I believe Fair opportunities for current and future pupils. Comfortable breaks in the rhythm and routine of the school day reduces stress. Extra-curricular activities increase student’s skills.
I know this Can allow study periods to be grouped in silent study or upstairs in group topic discussion. Can provide students with soft skills such as resilience & empathy. Contributes to a university application showcasing the “whole person”.
I want to Encourage students to participate in schemes that test your skills and enhance them. Be a confident Catholic aware that I can contribute positively to society. Consider all students learning methods e.g. visual, kinetic & auditory.
I intend to Engage 6th formers in a plan for “the common room” that mirrors activity to purpose. Broaden thinking on life choices after school, using Speakers to illustrate by their experiences. Lead the drive to us recycling more at St Joan of Arc.
Ciara Byrne To work alongside the staff and students of St Joan’s in developing the school to be an even better environment. To build upon, strengthen, and enhance the sense of community that our school has and is proud to have as an integral part of our Catholic ethos. My first idea is a sharing forum, for old textbooks, notes and revision sources, accessible to both year groups in sixth form. It will be loosely based on a ‘bring and buy’ system where we could have a google document where items intended for sale can be listed, and then bought by other pupils in the common room once a fortnight. I propose that the school merges year 12 and year 13 students in Enrichment lessons, this will encourage more transparency and openness between the year groups allowing for barriers to be broken and a feeling that older students are more accessible and easier to approach for mentoring, university application questions or even course challenges support. I feel strongly about introducing a political culture into the school, to develop students’ knowledge and experience in participating in politics. I feel that it is important that everyone has the opportunity to express their opinion, and therefore I think we should introduce a process in which we offer students the opportunity to put forward their suggestions on a selected topic.
Charlotte Hughes Manifesto I cannot think of a more rewarding way to conclude my final year at St Joan of Arc than serving as its President. I am an organised, enthusiastic and resilient student and I consider these key qualities for the role of President. I believe that as School President I would be able to give all students and staff, the chance to voice their opinions and make St Joan’s a better place for everyone who learns and works there. I would conduct a survey to ensure I understood their views and act on the things that are important to them. Something which I believe is fundamentally important at St Joan’s is our charity work. It’s always important to help those in need and I would want to identify new ways of raising additional funds to give to charities and also to put some money back into the school. The role of President is without a doubt one of great importance. I believe I have a lot of the characteristics that would make a successful president and I hope you are able to see the enthusiasm I have for this role, and vote for me as your President.
Remi Jessop Manifesto I’m known at school for being the ‘fast one’ but, being an athlete isn’t just running, it takes a lot of determination and sacrifice. I have learned that any challenge can be overcome and this is exactly what I want to do as president. I know I could add value to this role. Fun fundraising: I plan to revolutionise ways in which we raise money for the PFA and Udayan. I intend to raise money by contacting companies such as Samsung to come into the school and trial virtual reality headsets with students. A new creative way in which students will want to take part in. Issues to overcome There are challenges within school such as the litter, my intentions are to find new ways that no one else has attempted to solve the problem. I plan to create activities such as “Litters Next Top Model” which consists of each form creating a model piece, or clothing ultimately to get a reward at the end. Updating I am a firm believer in progression. Many students I have spoken to suggest ideas such as improvements in facilities to get the best out of our students. I aim to introduce Wifi boosters around school for students and staff to get the best out of lessons.

Mario Turturici Manifesto for Student Executive President
Being president of this school is a prestigious role which comes with great responsibility. I may not be the most political person but I believe that it is really important to have someone who has a passion for improvement, a set of realistic goals and is fully devoted to representing the students during their time at St. Joan’s.
My Proposal Improving school facilities- Including improving the common room, by converting the kitchen side of the room into a seating area. Developing the schools role in the community- Having more fundraising events run from Years 7 to 13 to raise money for Udayan, local charities and to provide the school with new and better equipment that will greatly benefit our learning. Opportunity for group studies during study periods Improving the student Wi-Fi Mentoring/Guidance programme- providing guidance for year 11's about their next step after their GCSE’s.
I am a highly motivated student who is conscientious and a leader; I am a good listener, and I take into account the opinions of others. I have achieved some great things at St Joan’s but it would be a real honour if I were chosen to help lead the school in such a prestigious position.
Abbie Wildman Manifesto Becoming president would not only be a privilege but would also be an amazing opportunity for me to develop my confidence and leadership skills. I strongly believe that my passion, commitment, and approachability would make me an ideal candidate to become your president! Study periods - I believe that both independent and group study have their benefits. I would like to propose a system where the choice would be ours. This could be an opportunity to reinforce high ATL grades giving students responsibility over their learning. Mentoring – Transitions can be difficult. I know from experience. The jumps to yr7 and yr12 can be made easier by introducing mentors. This would offer guidance and support to those in need, give responsibility roles to older students and also improve relationships between the year groups. Increasing charity work in lower school – The opportunity to work alongside charities is predominantly given to years 11, 12&13. I feel as though the lower school should also contribute to the work with food banks and the local community. Give the student body a more active role within the community – The student representatives could offer support to staff by helping with canteen management and break and lunch duties making them more recognised by younger years as role models.
