Some moments arrive quietly, yet carry the weight of years within them. Though I hold it for
the first time, the flagpole is a familiar weight. Perhaps that is the essence of Loreto House —
it gently prepares us for moments and experiences we do not yet realise we are going to
encounter in the future that awaits us.
True leadership, as a Loretoite, is not a torch passed to one with all the answers, but a steady
light that is shared, through asking the right questions and walking gently beside others as
each one finds her way.
To serve as the Head Girl of Loreto House is both a rare honour and a heartfelt expression of
gratitude — to the Principal, the teachers, and my peers who have, with patience and steady
encouragement, shaped the person I have become.
This institution is a place where dreams are first whispered and, through guidance and
unwavering belief, slowly find their way to realisation. As the Student Council of 2025–2026
steps into this chapter of leadership, we carry that spirit with us — a promise to uphold the
values that define us, to lead with compassion, to remember always that progress is not a path
we walk on alone, and that excellence is a collective pursuit.
In gratitude for the past, and with steady hope for the future, we walk ahead with purpose.
