    ABOUT ME
    Hi! I’m Angus Delaney and I am an extremely passionate and invested Year 11
    student at Ringwood. I would like to be able to represent the student body so I
    could gain a more direct ability to increase student wellbeing and attitudes
    towards the college by taking part in the organization and execution of various
    programs and carnivals throughout the year. Additionally to be able to voice the
    concerns not only of my own cohort but the whole school and be able to initiate
    to solve these concerns. An increased role in the encouragement of junior and
    senior students to heighten their involvement in school activities is also
    something I would enjoy greatly.

    I believe my personal attributes to be that I am very focused and oriented on the


    task at hand ensuring I am organised and posses proficient communication skills.
    I’m always enthusiastic and energetic about learning and I believe these
    infectious qualities help lift the attitudes of those around me. I’m always pushing
    myself to be the best I can be and take into account the views of my peers when
    making decisions. I believe these qualities are not only important but also crucial
    in being a leader.
    Particularly I believe that these attributes are directly transferrable to the role of
    Music Prefect, which is the portfolio role I am most suited to and I have had
    significant commitment to the Music Program since Year 7.

    Why Music Prefect


    As stated above my key attributes are my enthusiasm, energy, focus,
    communication skills, organization and drive to be the best I can be. These skills
    link strongly to the role of Music Prefect, as I must be organized in order to help
    in the running of extra curricular music activities as well as being prepared to
    MC for music concerts and events throughout the year. My energy and
    communication skills are also important for being an MC of the Music Program to
    keep the audience engaged and informed. Being an ambassador for the program
    would require immense enthusiasm and an understanding and love of the
    program I have gained throughout years of commitment to the program.

    My personal commitment to the Music Program began in Year 7 and through


    hard work, enthusiasm and my drive to achieve the best I can I was extremely
    successful, moving quickly into senior bands and now take part in Symphonic
    Band, Senior Stage Band and the Jazz Combo, playing the Tenor and Alto
    Saxophone. I have also in an effort to challenge myself been teaching myself
    piano. I have made so many friends and memories due to the Music Program and
    wish to use the role of Music Prefect to encourage others in doing the same,
    regardless of year level.
    Achievements and leadership experience
     Beginning in Year 7 I was voted in by my peers as ‘band representative’,
    for Training Band, which meant I would take on extra responsibility to
    ensure the cohesive working of the band.
     This year I have taken great pride in being one of the two Year 11 2018
    Music Captains.
     I completed my Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Award in Year 9 and the 3
    months community service I did as part of that was playing music on my
    saxophone for aged care residents of Donwood Aged Care Facility.
     Additionally in conjunction with music I have taken part in the colleges
    Senior and Junior Production’s, last year receiving a Lyrebird Youth
    Award for ‘Best Comedic Performance.’
     As part of the colleges community involvement program I recently
    performed at the Ringwood RSL in the Jazz Combo at the Long Tan
    Luncheon with respect to Vietnamese Veterans.

    My Vision for Music Prefect 2019


    As a long time student of the program I have noticed people around me
    losing interest and enjoyment in the music program as well as parents
    being uninterested during concerts. In an effort to combat this I would
    start up an new ensemble which combines instrumental music with a
    vocal element, performing famous songs and having a soloist singer to
    perform them live at events such as Jazz Night and other concerts
    throughout the year. Not only will an ensemble like this appeal to
    students, as they will be performing Music more relevant to them that
    they know and parents will find this more enjoyable as they will
    recognise the songs and find enjoyment in that.
    Overall as Music Prefect the lasting legacy I would like to leave behind is
    to have made students and parents get more enjoyment out of the
    program, and also to heighten the involvement of the Music Program in
    other school events such as having ensembles and groups perform at
    assemblies and carnivals throughout the year.
