Cameron Yeoman 
Board of Trustees Student Rep. Nominee - Personal Statement:


Tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou katoa, My name is Cameron Yeoman and I’m a year 12 student studying at St Kevin’s College. I have been nominated to run as a Student Representative for the B.O.T of SKC. My key attributes that I can bring to this role, are integrity, leadership and my ability to communicate with all students on different levels as proven by my awards within cultural endeavour at the school.

If elected, I will level the playing field and treat everybody's points of views and suggestions as equals, while doing this applying my best leadership skills to conveying these ideas to the board trustees to get the best possible outcomes.

Over my last four years at the college, I have proven my leadership skills through successful running of events and earning gold service award for voluntary work, within the community. If given the opportunity to represent my fellow students I will do my best to uphold the values of the school and seek the best possible outcomes for students.
Francesca Black 
Board of Trustees Student Rep. Nominee - Personal Statement:

I am Francesca Black, a year 12 student here at the College and I am interested in becoming the Board of Trustees Student Representative for 2019. I have always been interested in being a leader, with being Head Girl at St Joseph’s Primary School, and taking on service work throughout this year in order to achieve the Service Awards. In my past years at the College, I have also taken part in sporting endeavours, where I have enjoyed working with people within the school and the wider community.

I believe that it is important that all student voices are heard within the College and I would like to take an active approach to this role and ensure that the student voice remains alive for the upcoming year. I am also interested in viewing school life from a different perspective, and using this to the advantage of not only the school as a whole, but in particularly, the lives of those within the school community. I would like to contribute to making this school a better learning environment for our students through this opportunity, and this is why I am interested in becoming the Board of Trustees Student Representative for 2019. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and I look forward to seeing where this opportunity takes me.

Cara Anderson 
Board of Trustees Student Rep. Nominee – Personal Statement:

I think that it’s really important for students to be able to have a voice in the future of our school, as well as for us to have insight on its direction. I want to do this for experience, the understanding and for the chance to do something that could, potentially, have a positive impact on our school family and community. I want to be able to make quiet voices heard and understood, to offer perspective on topics that otherwise may not be touched on at all.

As a member of the Youth Council, I’ve already gained understanding of the conduct and importance of such meetings, as well as gained insight into how they can work for and help to improve our community.

I think accountability is important, working my best to try and complete work and goals to high standards. While holding high ambitions, I am also able to look at things objectively, working my best to set out realistic goals that can help to achieve what I want in the long run. I have a genuine interest into the inner running of things and feel that not only will I be able to apply skills that I currently have to this position, but will also be able to gain valuable new skills I will be able to apply all thought my life.

I am able to not only communicate my own ideas, but to listen to their thoughts and help to convey them and their significance. I believe in the importance of giving voice to those that are otherwise voiceless and feel that I would work with dedication to let them be heard. Beyond this, I feel that at the core of it, I would be a good candidate for Student Board Rep. because I genuinely care about our family, our future and our values.

Nathan Cundall 
Board of Trustees Student Rep. Nominee – Personal Statement:

My name is Nathan Cundall and I believe that I should be chosen to be on the board as a Student Representative because I am trustworthy, I get things done and I am a hard worker who pays attention to my surroundings and what goes on around the school.

I am 17 years old and I enjoy fishing computers, English, History and making things. I enjoy fishing, running, gym and biking in my free time. My favourite classes are English, History and M Tech.

I have never been on the board before or ever done a job like it before but I would like to give it a try and experience it for myself. I have always had an interest in these sorts of things but I have never given it a go. I am a people person and I like to socialise with others. Therefore, I believe I should on the board for this position.

I have good leadership qualities as I like to take charge and enjoy leading and working in groups. I am European, Fijian and Indian so therefore I would love to represent the students on the board.
