Student Leadership Team

Our aims for this year....

Our school believes in pupils, parents and staff having their voice not just heard, but also acted upon. Which is why this year, we will strive to improve our communication across the school community, so we can work together as a team to continue to improve how our school feels. We want everyone to feel valued, included and respected and will keep this at the heart of all work we do, and we know building strong relationships is the key to this. Our school vision, 'Together We Thrive' encourages us to make Linlithgow Academy feel like home and be a place where all young people feel they belong. 

A little bit about us......

Emily -

Hello, I'm Emily and I'm so excited to be one of the Head Students this year. I am really looking forward to working with this pupil leadership team and the other S6's on some new pupil engagement initiatives, continuing the great work of previous pupil leadership teams to grow the sense of community at Linlithgow Academy so that every pupil feels they belong here. I care a lot about helping people so please come and find me if you need anything or just want someone to talk to. In my free time I like to cook and spend time with my family and friends. I love to learn new things and my favourite subjects are science, maths and languages. In my time at the Academy I have been involved in lots of different clubs and activities and I feel passionate about getting pupils involved and making sure they have a voice in making decisions about their education. I can't wait to get started and here's to a great year!

Alfie- 

Hi, I'm Alfie and I am very excited to be one of Linlithgow Academy's head students this year. I am grateful to be surrounded by such a great team with Emily, Callum and Sahasra. I am very excited to work with them as I know we can make a positive difference in the school. I play on the school rugby team and have been lucky enough to represent the school in two finals in the past two years. Playing rugby has enabled me to develop both teamwork and communication skills which will come in handy throughout this next year. I am very chatty and sociable so I'm always happy to stop and talk to people if they have any worries or if they just fancy chat. I am really looking forward to this year and am excited to see what's impact me and the rest of the team can have on the school.  

Callum - 

Hi, I'm Callum. I'm proud to be one of the deputy head students this year at Linlithgow Academy. Over the last 5 years I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at the academy and have been lucky enough to have made some great memories and hope to make more this year. I am a very friendly and outgoing person and have always loved talking to people. I consider this a very valuable asset to bring to the pupil leadership team and look forward to speaking with people across all year groups to hear their thoughts and ideas so that we can ensure that everyone has as great a time at the academy as I have had. I have a very keen interest in sport and fitness, particularly rugby and running. For the last 4 years I have played for Linlithgow Rugby Club which has helped me develop important skills and values such as unity, resilience and collaboration. I am excited for the coming year and look forward to working as a team to create a positive and inclusive school environment for all!

Sahasra -

Hello! My name is Sahasra and I am the deputy head girl of Linlithgow Academy for the 2024/2025 academic year. I am super excited and grateful to have this role and hope to be able to make a positive and joyful impact for the school! My hobbies are violin and dance which I have been doing from a very young age and in my years of being in Linlithgow Academy, I have taken part in the school community such as being a health and wellbeing buddy and also a mentor for MVP ( Mentors in violence prevention). I am also a part of the rights-respecting group where we have been awarded our silver award and are aiming for gold! From being gifted these amazing opportunities I have gained so much more confidence and speaking skills which greatly help my role as the deputy head and provide to my idea of helping people feel more included and understood in the school community. I consider myself to be a huge chatterbox so any questions, doubts or just need to talk to someone, I'll be more than happy to! If you need to find me I'm either on door duty, in the S6 area or in the booths
