Outgoing Head Girl, Leigh-Ann Cudjoe reflects on her time of leadership: “On behalf of the GLG, I would like to congratulate the incoming GLG in their new roles. From seeing how some of the students have already engaged with our school community that they will make a great team. It will be a challenge to get things done in these unconventional times, something that the GLG and I can attest to, but we have no doubt that the incoming GLG will overcome these challenges.”
We are delighted to introduce Masooma, Emily and Tamara below.
Masooma (Head Girl): “I’m excited to be your Head Girl for the upcoming year. I can’t wait to see what the GLG and I get to achieve together, especially after COVID-19 restrictions. I’m looking forward to making positive changes within the BGS community and getting to know everyone in the terms to come. I know the next year will be an amazing experience and I am so lucky to be working with such a dedicated and inspirational team.”
Emily (Deputy Head Girl, Internal Relations): “I am delighted to be one of your Deputy Head Girl's for this coming year. I’m really looking forward to meeting with some of you in Student Voice meetings and getting to hear a number of your new and exciting ideas for how you would like to see the school grow and develop. Hopefully, I will be able to get to know lots of you in both the Junior and Senior school and together we will be able make an active change to progress the school environment after COVID-19. I’m so excited for the year to come!”
Tamara (Deputy Head Girl, Operations): “I am looking forward to embracing my role as Deputy Head Girl. This year has been challenging for so many, with so much change and time apart we all need to work together to strengthen the BGS community.”
