What it means being a leader

Being head girl brings me nothing but joy. It truly is an honour and a privilege to serve in this role at Windhoek High School. It is incredibly rewarding to be trusted in such a leadership position and it’s a wonderful opportunity to contribute to the school community. There are challenges, of course, but they help me grow personally. Respect, integrity and courage are qualities I use every day to help myself and others. My plan for this year is to improve communication between students and staff: I want to make sure that students’ voices are heard and their concerns are addressed. My advice to all youth leaders out there is that leadership isn’t just about a title; it’s about making a difference in the lives of others. Always listen to the people you lead, understand their concerns, and lead with empathy and integrity. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes – they are opportunities to learn and grow. Finally, always keep a positive attitude.Being head boy of Windhoek High School is an honour. It's a mix of pride, responsibility and a sense of accomplishment, while also understanding the weight of expectations that come with the position. A quality that I use is to be resilient by bouncing back from setbacks, adapting to change, and maintaining composure under pressure. I try to be positive and focused on our tasks when facing challenges. My plan for the year is to put God first in everything I do and to not get lost in the storm but to focus on Him and to have strong faith. My words of advice to other leaders is to spend more time on yourself and to reflect daily on what your plans are for the year and to stick to it. Stick to the game plan!
