Candidate Profile

SPEECHLAY, Liam

I’m asking for your vote to be the strong student voice, ensuring our views impact the board’s decisions. I have experience, drive, and vision to advocate effectively and get results.

Getting Amongst It

My wide experience in various activities gives me a great understanding of sport, academic, arts, and community issues: I know your concerns. I play football, cricket, volleyball, and table tennis; debate and play theatresports; am in the service group and I tutor. This and my strong academic results show I have the drive to get stuff done.

Debating and theatresports will especially help express student concerns convincingly to other board members.

Board Experience

The Generation Give board program has given me board skills with charities, events, and businesses. I’ve accessed talented professionals from the Christchurch Foundation to develop my skills. In addition, my involvement in political campaigns shows I won’t be intimidated by adults.

Keeping You Informed

When was the last time you heard about the board of trustees? I’ll work with the prefects, running polls on the student Instagram to get your opinion. Big topics, like changing the senior curriculum, need our voice. You can always speak to me, and I will ensure the whole board listens.
