Student Leadership

I’m very glad to be serving as Student Principal and really hope to make both tangible and efficient change which effects both every-day life and your overall years at HAOC, creating a culture which feels both comforting and inclusive.

I am studying Media, History, and English Literature and, despite my clear preference for humanities subjects, I believe every discipline deserves equal recognition for the challenges it presents, and the dedication required to succeed. Too many students feel pressured by parents, peers, or society to follow a particular path or meet certain expectations. I strongly believe that by challenging these pressures and biases within our own community, we can create an environment where everyone can thrive.

If any student has any concerns, worries or just overall anxieties regarding school life then I am always open to a conversation; no one should be left in silence.

Since joining HAOC I have been deeply inspired by the incredible dedication of the whole school community, whose unwavering support and encouragement have enabled me to grow both academically and personally.

I currently study Economics, Law, and Physics, with the aim of going onto study either Aviation or Law. These subjects perfectly reflect my interests in analytical thinking, complex problem solving, and understanding the world around us.

Outside of school, I am an active member of the Royal Air Force Air Cadets (RAFAC), where I have developed vital skills in leadership, teamwork, resilience, and self-discipline. I also enjoy swimming, practising martial arts, and cricket.

I am delighted to be appointed Vice Principal where I will focus on promoting high-quality teaching and learning by championing initiatives that encourage academic excellence and celebrating student achievement.

I look forward to working closely with students and staff alike to continue to foster a vibrant school culture rooted in curiosity, ambition, and lifelong learning.

As Head of Personal Development on the Student Leadership Team, I’m passionate about making a positive difference to students’ experience at Harris Academy Ockendon.

As a student, I enjoy listening to others, supporting new ideas, and helping to create opportunities that encourage confidence, wellbeing, and personal growth.

I’m proud to represent the student voice at HAOC and look forward to building upon our inclusive culture to ensure students continue to feel valued, supported, and able to thrive.

I'm both honoured and privileged to be part of the student leadership team and am ready to continue to strengthen our lovely community through our student voice.  My role is transition, focusing on students moving up into the next academic year as well students new to the school. 

I am so fortunate to be in such a heartwarming community that pushes growth, encourages creativity, diversity and student voices, and I will continue to embody these traits.

I am currently studying A-Level English literature, Sociology and Psychology with the aim of studying Law at university. My academic background gives me a deep understanding of group dynamics, behavioural motivation, and human behaviour, providing me with skill sets such as leadership, empathetic listening and communication and the confidence to make a change in our community.   

I enjoy writing, and sports and consider myself a reliable, determined, and creative individual. I aspire to be a role model, leading with confidence, understanding, and determination.

I am proud to be the Leader for Belonging and Events on the Student Leadership Team. I have a strong belief of every student feeling welcomed, valued and most importantly, included. This is why I am so passionate about helping to create a positive school community where everyone can thrive.

Through my help of organising events and promoting a strong sense of belonging in this school, I hope to bring students together to celebrate our diverse community and strive to create memorable experiences that make school life enjoyable for all students.

My goal in this role is to confidently take the part in inspiring kindness, teamwork, and school pride. This is to ensure every student in this school feels they are part of such a strong community where they are 100% supported, respected and empowered to be themselves.

I am proud to be part of HAOC Sixth form and I’m particularly grateful to be given the opportunity to be part of the student leadership team.

Having joined in Yr 12 I have been challenged and nurtured by the experienced members of staff here who push me to want better for myself. This has continued to show in my commitment to further improve my grades. With this I hope to create an environment where every student is confident enough to reach their fullest potential and reach their goals. 

Currently I am studying Biology, Psychology and Religious studies at A level, these three subjects have taught me resilience and discipline to work toward achieving the career I want: becoming a clinical psychologist. But outside of my subjects I enjoy staying active through playing basketball, as well as reading and baking in my free time, which allow me to balance my school life whilst also enriching myself. 

I am honoured to work alongside the rest of the student leadership team and teachers to further grow an already supportive academy and ensure a great future for every student who is enrolled here.

I joined HAOC in Year 12 and am currently studying A-Level Biology, Chemistry and Mathematics. These intensive subjects have provided me with invaluable skills in critical thinking, time management and resilience. They also prepare me for my pursuit of being a future medical doctor.

I strongly believe that to achieve our best academically, we first need to feel safe, supported and happy within our daily lives. As the Wellbeing Lead at HAOC my role is to ensure that every student feels included and valued throughout their school journey. I aspire to curate an atmosphere where looking after our mental health is the standard, conversations regarding it are never stigmatised and allow anyone that is facing any challenge to feel comfortable to seek support when they need it.

HAOC Sixth Form is built on the dedication of our teachers and the mutual respect of the students, and together we can continue to foster a culture that puts inclusivity and wellness at the forefront of our community's initiatives and ensure that HAOC remains a place where everyone can succeed.
