Head Boy (Middle School)

Overwhelmed with a great sense of gratitude and euphoria, I stand here today as the Head Boy of the Middle Wing. Since my first day at St. Columba’s, I have been instilled with the values of courage, commitment, and discipline. Whether it’s standing in front of hundreds with a microphone or holding a guitar, whether it’s driving a cause for social justice or initiating class- level changes, I have always been guided by my mentors to strive for excellence. Words cannot express my deep sense of gratitude to those who have brought me to where I am today.

A leader takes people where they want to go. A great leader takes people where they ought to be, even if they do not want to go. As Head Boy, I strive to be the latter. I aim to be someone who not only represents but also guides, challenges, and uplifts my fellow students, even when the path is dicult. My role is to ensure our collective growth, not just comfort, and to lead by example so that together, we achieve more than we ever thought possible.

With my interests in aviation and military a airs, one of my favourite sayings is, “A wingman is not just a pilot flying beside you. It is someone who has your six, no matter what.” It is my duty to be that wingman for every student, to stand by them in challenges, guide them when needed, and ensure no one feels left behind as we soar toward greatness in this journey of life.

The theme for this academic year is “Peace: The Power in Me for We.” Peace is not merely the absence of conflict. It is the light of understanding, respect, and unity. It begins within each of us — in our thoughts, our words, and our actions — and radiates outward, shaping how we treat others and build our community. It is the awareness that our actions a ect all those around us whom we care for, and most of all, whom we love. True peace is the strength to resolve di erences with compassion and to work together so that ‘me’ can truly become ‘we.’

To my proud Columban community, let us move forward to create a brighter tomorrow, upholding our school motto:
“Sapere Aude, Sincere et Constanter.”
“Dare to know, Sincerely and Constantly.”
