Head boy and Head girl

Leonard Indongo

Being head boy of Etosha comes with many rewarding opportunities, but it also brings several challenges. One major challenge is balancing academic responsibilities with leadership duties, as meetings, event planning and assisting teachers can be time-consuming. Managing conflicts among students requires patience, fairness and strong communication skills. The Head Boy must set a positive example at all times, which can be both stressful and demanding.

Additionally, organising school activities and ensuring active student participation can be challenging. Handling criticism and pressure from both peers and staff also requires confidence and resilience. Despite these challenges, the role fosters personal growth, responsibility and valuable leadership experience.

Being head girl during a challenging time pushed me to grow in ways I never expected. It wasn’t just about leading; it was about holding people together when everything felt heavy. I witnessed fear, exhaustion, and uncertainty in those around me, and I made it my mission to bring comfort and hope. Some days were overwhelming, but I learned to stay strong for others, even when I struggled inside.

I discovered that leadership isn’t about perfection; it’s about compassion, vulnerability and courage. That experience shaped me deeply, teaching me that empathy and professional strength are earned through composure under pressure.
