Hi I’m Megan Hannon and I’m absolutely de-lighted to have been

elected head girl for this year. I am looking for-ward to the opportuni-ties that this new posi-tion will offer me, such

as a chance to make an impact whether big or

small on people's lives. I look forward to offer-ing my advice and ex-periences to younger

students and hopefully encourage all students to take advantage or

the wonderful opportu-nities our school offers

us.

Hi I'm Michael Conlon and I would like to thank all who voted me as this year's head boy. Having

gone through it all, I want to wish our

school's younger stu-dents the very best of luck for the rest of the school year. I would heavily encourage all

students to do a sport or hobby throughout the year to maintain a fit,

happy, healthy lifestyle. There are many extra

curricular activities also offered in St. Clare's.
