Head Girl

Hello, my name is Sophie Gallagher and I am the Head Girl at Clydeview Academy. I am extremely grateful for this opportunity and I am very excited that I get to help improve the school ethos alongside the rest of my peers in the pupil leadership team.

In my early years, I attended Saint Ninians primary school and I was originally supposed to go on to Saint Columbus Highschool. However, plans changed and I found myself attending Clydeview and I could not be happier. At Clydeview not only have I been able to learn and make new friends, I’ve also had many chances to peruse the things I am passionate about; such as singing alongside Mrs Beck in VOISS choir, and playing lead roles in the school’s annual musical.

It is very important to me that students feel that the school is a safe place, where they can express themselves freely. Which is why I decided to take part in the Mentors in Violence Prevention Programme, as well as becoming an anti-bulling ambassador. One of my main Goals as head girl is to offer more support to students, especially those who need a little extra help with their studies. Furthermore, I aim to ensure that I follow the school values in my day-to-day life, in hopes that it encourages other students to do so too.

I can’t believe this is going to be my final year at Clydeview Academy, it truly has gone by so fast! I hope that in my time as head girl I have a positive impact throughout the term and that I make some long-lasting memories.

Head Boy

Hello, my name is Jack Ramsay and I am Head Boy of Clydeview Academy. I am very grateful to have been chosen as Head Boy and I’m really looking forward to my time in sixth year as well as working with the Head Girl, Deputy Head Boy and Girl and the House Captains.

I have been a student at Clydeview since S1 and I’ve truly enjoyed my time at this school. I have learned many important skills during my time here and I was able to achieve great Higher results, with thanks to Clydeview’s fantastic teachers. Additionally, I have always been willing to take part in multiple different opportunities within the school, including the pupil council.

I am eager to bring new ideas to Clydeview Academy that will become positive additions to our everyday school life. Knowing how challenging sitting exams can be, I hope to work alongside the rest of the pupil leadership team in assisting at supported study sessions which will help the pupils in our school feel more prepared in their subjects and offer support from those who have recently been in their position.

This year I will be in charge of Clydeview Connect which can be found on the school website and is a place where our pupils will upload blogs and pictures about the different events happening in our school. I am very excited about this excellent opportunity as two of my hobbies are writing and photography – perfect for Clydeview Connect.

I look forward to being a representative of Clydeview Academy within our wider community and I hope I can help others have the same fun experiences that I’ve had.

Deputy Head Girl

Hi, my name is Carys Donaldson and I am Clydeview Academy’s newest Deputy Head Girl. I am grateful for the role and the opportunity to make clydeview a better place. I am eager to work with the rest of the pupil leadership team to put our great ideas into action.

 

In my free time I enjoy reading and socialising with my friends. I am involved in scouts and spend lots of my free time camping. This has taught me lots of crucial skills as I have multiple leadership style roles within scouts. I have taken on other roles in school to help build my skills and confidence like being a Maths and Science Ambassador and being a Mentor in Violence Protection (MVP). All these things have made me who I am today and are helping me become the best version of myself.

 

I can’t believe this is my final year in school but I am ready to give it my all and face any challenges that come my way with a positive attitude and a smile. Thanks for reading!

Deputy Head Boy

Hi, my name is Stephen McIlroy and I’ve been chosen as the new Deputy Head Boy of Clydeview Academy. It’s a position I am incredibly grateful for, and I look forward to being involved in the pupil leadership team this year. I believe that with our hard work and new ideas, we can create positive change within the school, to ensure that everyone has a successful 2024-25.

 

Buying into the school values, and getting involved with all the school has to offer, has made my time here a more enjoyable experience. I’ve been involved in sports for as long as I can remember, and that’s not changed as I’ve been consistent in the school’s football team each year. When I’m not kicking a ball, I also enjoy learning each day. This year I am studying advanced higher maths and physics, and higher chemistry and music technology. This year I’ve also taken up the Mentor in Violence Protection (MVP) programme, as a way to further my leadership skills.

 

As Deputy Head Boy, I think it is important to have a strong relationship with other pupils, in order for every voice to be heard. I feel that it’s important to take ideas on board from all of those involved with the school, to ensure that our contributions are right for everyone.

 

I look forward to the year ahead and the work that is to be done. I’m sure you’ll hear plenty of my voice on the tannoy this year anyway, so you won’t need to worry about missing any announcements.
