Head Student Vote by Selina Skies
This year’s ballot was, Selina thought, a prime example of why it was good idea to remove the gender divisions in the head student ballot. It was supposed to be up to the students, and fairly serious lines had to be crossed for someone to be removed from the ballot. However, this was a year group where the capability and suitability of the girls far outstripped that of the boys. Not that she would be sharing any of those thoughts with the students. She suspected they all knew, far better than she did, that Jeremy was a brat, and that Martin was disconnected. She probably knew more about Felipe than most of them, but she doubted his issues had remained entirely secret. Still, in her presentation of the voting forms, she would remain entirely neutral, regardless of her personal thoughts. It was a rather a blessing that Ness had asked for things to be turned on their head the previous year, as that just meant they were continuing a trajectory they were already on, rather than making a point themselves. Perhaps the subtext was there, in not reverting back to the Old Ways, but it was far more subtle.“Hello,” Selina greeted the fifth and sixth years, who had been reminded to stay after breakfast. “Today, you will be voting on the two head students for next year. Just like last year, you will be invited to choose any two students, regardless of gender. Please consider the qualities that make a good head student – responsible, kind, involved – rather than just voting for friends. Once you have made your selections, please place your slip in the box and make your way to class.”
