What extra responsibilities do you have now as a head boy?
I make sure that the other learners are behaving themselves and not breaking any of the rules.
It’s also my job to monitor the classes when the teachers leave.
Are there any sacrifices you have to make to fulfil your position as a head boy?
Not anything that I can think of right now.
I was elected only last week so I guess I’ll still have to see as time goes on.

I’ve always worked hard to make sure my grades are the best they can be.
Has the position changed the way you talk with your friends?
