My name is Gessica Perdoni and I am a Year 8pupil of The Sacred Heart Language College. I thoroughly enjoy being a student at the Sacred Heart and the many opportunities available to me.

Since beginning at Sacred Heart, I have put myself forward for many activities and enjoy representing the school ethos. I am currently beginning my second year as Pupil Voice Forum Representative for my form, where I represent the views of my tutor group. This year, I have been chosen to take on the role of a Lead Learner for languages, which I really enjoy studying.  In Year 7, I also enjoyed being a part of the Concert and Gospel Choirs, performing at both the Christmas Carol Concert and the Summer Concert.

Not only do I represent my Form Group’s views but also the opinions of the whole school at Harrow Youth Parliament. At Harrow Youth Parliament, we aim to hold regular activities for the young people of Harrow and have regular meetings with MPs and the leader of the council. In the last Annual General Meeting, I was elected to the executive role of HYP Secretary, meaning that I have to take the minutes at each general meeting and later ensure these are uploaded for the general members to view. I am the youngest member of the executive team at Harrow Youth Parliament, and look forward to progressing further.

My favourite subject is History, which I would like to pursue further in the future. I am a confident and cheerful student and I am excited to get involved with more extra-curricular activities the school has to offer.
