• Support at events such as Year 6 Welcome Evening, Year 5 Parents Information Evening, Year 5 Day, Year 6 Induction Day and more. 
• Help year 7 students get to know the school by guiding them to their lessons for the first few weeks of term 1. 
• Do your best to make the new cohort of year 7 students feel part of Highdown School by smiling when you greet them. 
• Be an outstanding role model for your peers.

Additional responsibilities: 

• To liaise with the other Student Leadership Team Members to run and manage your house. 
• To support and promote the House System Vision by supporting routines and activities pertinent to the house including fundraising / charity work and competitive events.
