School election speech for Head Boy or Head Girl

Good morning, teachers and friends. I am [Your Name] of class [Class], and I am standing for the post of Head Girl/Head Boy. I will not promise you a swimming pool or no homework. I promise three real things: I will listen to every student, I will carry your suggestions to the teachers, and I will be the first to follow the rules I ask you to follow. If you want a leader who works with you and not above you, please vote for me. Thank you.

Respected Principal, respected teachers and my dear friends, good morning. My name is [Your Name], I study in class [Class], and I stand before you as a candidate for the post of Head Girl/Head Boy.

Let me begin with honesty. I cannot promise you longer breaks, fewer tests or a new cricket ground. Those decisions are not in a student's hands, and a candidate who promises them is only asking for claps. I would rather earn your trust.

So here is what I can do, and will do. First, I will listen. I will keep a suggestion box outside the library and open it every Friday. Second, I will speak for you. Every month I will take your three most common suggestions to the Principal and report back to you in the assembly on what was said. Third, I will include everyone. The new student, the shy student and the student who is never picked for a team will have a place in our events.

Why me? I have been class monitor for [number] years, and I have worked in [club or house]. I have learnt how to settle a quarrel without taking sides, and how to get a job done without shouting. I am not the loudest person in this school. But I am reliable. When I say I will do something, it gets done.

A badge does not make a leader. A leader is the one who picks up the litter first, stands in the queue like everyone else and says sorry when wrong. I will try every day to be that person.

If you believe that our school council should serve the students, then I ask for your support. Vote for [Your Name]. Together we can make a good school even better. Thank you.
