School Captains' Welcome

SCHOOL CAPTAINS’ ADDRESS

Hello, our names are Eva and Stephen, and we are proud to be this year’s School Captains at Portlethen Academy.

We are honoured to represent the pupil voice, support the planning and delivery of school events, and help embed the values that make our school community thrive.

As School Captains, our priorities for the year include:

• Enhancing student voice and engagement

• Promoting inclusivity and wellbeing

• Strengthening connections with our local community

• Advocating for academic excellence and the development of key life skills

To support these aims, one of our first initiatives will be to launch a Sports Council: a new pupil-led group open to students from all year groups. This council will promote participation in sports and physical activity across the school, helping to build a stronger sense of teamwork, health, and community spirit.

We are excited to work alongside staff and pupils to make this year as positive and impactful as possible.
