Olympia Park School’s new head girl, Busisiwe Jaholo, wants to bring change to her school.
How did you get to this position?
I knew I had to impress my teachers, so I worked much harder than I normally do to improve my grades. I also showed them and my peers a lot of respect and respected and loved myself.
What extra duties did you have to take on?
I am in charge of the school’s feeding scheme. It can be stressful at times, but I have learnt how to deal with that stress. I also have to attend all the RCL meetings.
Do you interact with your peers differently now as head girl?
Now that I am head girl, I show them with more respect. I also try and sit down with them and listen if something is bothering them.
