K频道短视频 School Captains and Vice Captains for 2021 are: Harshitha Peddireddy (Captain), Angus Johansen (Captain), Ruby Burnham (Vice Captain) and Riley Denham (Vice Captain). Here is a further insight into our 2021 School leaders:

Harshitha

Born in Tadepalli, India, Harshitha arrived at K频道短视频 in Prep and her brother Prahas will be in Year 5 in 2021. Harshitha鈥檚 parents are doctors, along with many of her extended family, but her own studies are currently heading in the direction of international politics. Outside of the classroom Harshitha enjoys music and public speaking 鈥� and dabbles in writing stories and poetry.鈥淚 feel this leadership position is a very necessary step to introduce me into the world of leadership and problem solving as well as catering to the needs of a varied public and group of students,鈥欌�� Harshitha said.鈥淚 have lots of ideas and thoughts that I hope will be able to leave Grammar even better for the future.鈥淚 would like for Grammar to become a more accepting student body and I believe we can be more involved in the general Rockhampton community.鈥淚 would also like for Grammar to become a greener place through composting and recycling but also with healthier habits (computer use, eating habits, etc). This could be with recycling paper, doing regular clean-ups and starting waste and composting habits in the Primary School.鈥淏ut maybe my biggest goal would be for the School to listen to its students. The captains aren鈥檛 the only ones with the best ideas or the most reasonable ones. Everyone would have different perspectives and thoughts that are beneficial to the community and I would like everyone to be a part of change and get involved otherwise this world can鈥檛 keep a-turning.鈥�
