ENPS Captains' Reflections
We've been asking our House and School Captains to reflect back over their time at ENPS, and here's what Hamish, Forest and James had to say!
Hamish – Baan House Captain
Do you have any highlights from 2025 so far?
Being at the top of the school and having Exhibition and camp.
What has been the best thing about being House Captain?
Representing my house and a quarter of the school.
Did you learn any new skills being a captain?
How to lead and speak publicly.
What advice could you offer to the 2026 ENPS House Captains?
Be repaired and always have a piece of advice in your pocket.
Have your schooling years at ENPS prepared you for the future?
I have learnt how to be a leader and make positive changes.
Can you sum up 2025 in 5 words?
Truly an amazingly fun experience.
Do you have any advice for our 2026 Foundation students?
You have a long way to go and school will fly by. Enjoy it.
What will you miss most about ENPS?
My friends and past teachers and having much easier work than high school!
Forest – Wiin House Captain
Do you have any highlights from 2025?
Definitely my first assembly and becoming friends with the other house captains. I feel it gave me a sense of belonging and achievement.
What has been the best thing about being House Captain?
Meeting new people and probably having a sense of leadership/ belonging in our ENPS community.
Did you learn any new skills being a captain?
I really think it helped me become a role model and way more principled, conscious, understanding and respect.
What advice could you offer to the 2026 ENPS House Captains?
(If possible you would love to talk to them in person!) but I would say: focus on being role models using kindness, respect, and responsibility. Actively listen to all students to bring their voices forward, work collaboratively with staff and other captains on events (like assemblies, house activities, fundraising) to boost school spirit and develop your own leadership by asking questions, showing empathy, and learning from effort, making it about serving the school community, not just yourselves. :)
Have your schooling years at ENPS prepared you for the future?
The school has made me a leader and I will carry that skill throughout high school where I may become a house/school captain again (except this time with experience).
Can you sum up 2025 in 5 words?
Hectic, change, friends, leaders, memorable.
Do you have any advice for our 2026 Foundation students?
Don't be afraid to step out of your comfort zone and remember friends aren't just your BFFs they're kids like you that will shape your life and comfort you through your journey.
What will you miss most about ENPS?
I will miss everything. From friends to teachers and sessions to classrooms. Everything that has ever happened I will miss. A big moment I will cherish and miss forever is being a captain of our school.
