"It is a great pleasure to have been chosen as one of the Deputy School Captains for the following year. Throughout my time at Bournemouth School, I have always admired the dedication and professionalism of the previous senior prefects, and so I am extremely proud to be part of the Senior Team for the upcoming year.

My main responsibility will be to continue the running of the Student Voice, which was set up at the beginning of the last school year and has been met with great success and support amongst the staff and students alike. I have great admiration for George Lander and the previous senior team who worked to set up this system, and hope to further their good work. Our main aim over the next year will be to elevate the role of the Student Voice, especially within the lower school, and to continue to make sure that the system is an aspect of school life which the students are proud to be a member.

I am proud to work alongside such a capable and hardworking team, and I am confident that over the year to come, we will fulfil our duty to continue the work of all previous teams to represent the students of the school."

"It is an honour to have been chosen as House Captain of Darwin for the upcoming year. I have always admired the dedication and determination of the previous House Captains, and I feel privileged to be able to continue their good work. Over the coming year, I am determined to work hard to support the other members of the house and to lead the house to further successes over the year.

Since joining the school in year 7, I have always been proud to be a part of Darwin house due to its sense of community between boys in the house. I have always appreciated the guidance and assistance given to me by those in senior years, and I am determined to repay this to others now that I am in this position. I am excited to be a part of a house with so many talented individuals, and with such an active involvement in school life, be it sports, music or the outstanding charity work that Darwin house has carried out.

Being appointed Head of Darwin has given me the opportunity to share my experiences of the challenges I have faced throughout my school life and in doing so improve the lives of younger students in the school. However, I will not be facing this task alone. Part of what makes Darwin House - and Bournemouth School as a whole - so successful is the willingness of the prefects and all of our boys to work as a team for the collective goal of maintaining the positive environment which is synonymous with the school.

I am very pleased to be chosen to represent the boys of the house, and I look forward to working with such a talented group of people over the coming year. I also look forward to the challenges we will face over the next year, and I am confident that together we will be able to lead Darwin House to greater success."

"Since I joined Bournemouth School in 2007 I’ve been incredibly fond of the school’s rather unique house system. As a younger student, and now as house captain, I understand the importance of healthy competition and teamwork that the house championship encourages. The sheer breadth of house events means that everyone in the house is able to flourish regardless of whether they are passionate about sport, music, drama or academia.

My aim as house captain is to provide a solid framework in which the Scott prefect team can operate effectively, and for our whole house to succeed in the championship. Over the years, Scott House has gained a reputation for unforgettable charity events that have raised thousands of pounds for our house charity, ‘Leukemia Busters’. I am confident that this year’s prefect team will not disappoint.

It would be naive to suggest that being house captain for the following year will be easy, however I am motivated and organised enough to deliver; I will work tirelessly to ensure that everyone in Scott House feels supported."

"Throughout my six years as a member of Bournemouth School, I have had the good fortune of integrating myself firmly into school life through both academic and extra-curricular ventures. Previous House Captains have inspired me to engage in house competitions, and take an active role in the form, and I hope to be as strong a role model as my predecessors. I believe that each boy and girl in Turner House can offer something this year, whether it’s taking part in the house football competition, baking cakes for a cake sale or reading in assembly. For me, what makes Turner House stand out is the community spirit and competitiveness, and this year it is a huge honour to lead that.

Due to the plethora of talents in the house, I envisage that the hardest task will be making sure all are involved; however I am sure the school prefects will help me with that. Each member of the outstanding Turner school prefect team has been tasked with a designated area, and one of these is to lead the new Turner newspaper, the “Turner Times”. Turner House has always set the benchmark for other houses in terms of charity work, and I can assure you that this will continue, surpassing previous events in the upcoming year. Working in alliance with Mrs Teenan, I hope this can be a very successful year for Turner House. I have always been incredibly proud to be a member of Bournemouth School, and look forward to representing it throughout the forthcoming year."
