Hello, my name is David Ellis and I am the Student Trustee on the Board of Trustees. I have served on the board since September, and stand down next month. I am also a school Prefect and Head Boarder at Thomas House.
My role is the same as any other trustee, the only difference is that I bring a student perspective. During my time on the board I have participated in the ERO review, Hostel committee, as well as a number of other projects. I have enjoyed these and the challenges that came with them.
One of my highlights from my time on the board was the Spirit of Adventure trip at the beginning of the year. This was a voyage for student trustees that is held annually for the purpose of teaching us how to fulfil our roles better. It was a fantastic experience and one that made me understand how the board works.
I would recommend to any student that is interested in being the student trustee to have a go. I have enjoyed my time on the board and would like to thank them for being a great team to be a part of.
