Civic and Community Engagement

I am deeply committed to empowering the next generation of informed voices. My work in civic and community engagement spans multiple student-led initiatives aimed at expanding political literacy, fostering open debate, and raising awareness. Through organizing annual campaigns, managing school publications, and contributing to regional climate conferences, I strive to do everything I can to serve my school community and inspire action around the issues I am most passionate about.

I am also a member of a political party as I believe getting involved in what you believe in at a young age is very important.

Co-President

As Student Co-President of the Junior Politics Society, I help lead weekly interactive sessions designed to cultivate critical thinking, public speaking, and political literacy among younger students. I try to curate discussions on current global affairs, organize structured debates on pressing geopolitical issues, and foster an inclusive environment where members are encouraged to form and articulate their own well-reasoned viewpoints in my talks.

St Olave's Political Awareness Week

2026 

Co-Organiser

Political Awareness Week (PAW) is a student-led initiative hosted annually at St Olave’s Grammar School designed to combat political apathy and empower the next generation of civic leaders.

Running across an intensive week of political engagement, PAW brings prominent figures from across the political spectrum—including Cabinet Ministers, MPs, Lords, journalists, and policy experts—directly into dialogue with students. Through keynote speeches, student-led interviews, and open Q&A sessions, PAW provides a neutral, rigorous platform for young people to dissect complex policy, debate critical national issues, and develop a deeper understanding of democratic governance.
