Captaincy Applications

Students have been preparing to write application letters for 2027 captaincy roles. Students will be given some time to complete these in class with final edits and adaptations being made at home. Letters will be due to classroom teachers by Wednesday 4 November. Letters should be typed, printed and signed. If you do not have a printer at home, students can print on the due date at school.
