Also any tips on impressing teachers in a school captain interview. It's tomorrow and I'm starting to freak out a little.

The key is to be as self-centred as possible. That's hard for any normal person but you basically got to just tell them about EVERYTHING you've done to contribute to the school, even the smallest things. Then bs those small things into big things by expressing how that thing effected your peers, teachers etc. Just exaggerate everything to make yourself sound good. Everyone will tell you that you just have to be as modest as possible, but trust me the teachers will only pick those whose list of contributions just go on and on. Use assertive words, don't use "I can", use "I will" instead. Also try to minimise the stuttering and umms, instead just stop completely and think about what you have to say. It's quite an easy interview if you just say the right things in the right way.
Good luck, hopefully you get it so we can be fellow school caps XD

Thanks. I'm usually quite shy with teachers but I can bs like crazy so I'll bank on that. Any tips on how to impress the entire school of my awesomeness in 45 seconds?

And congrats on captain. Hopefully I'll be able to join you in a few weeks.

That's basically what I did in my letter to the principal. Just wrote all about the leadership stuff I've done in the past, and how I can handle the duty of a Captain. Then I went and screwed it up by signing it with my nickname. (Ikr, why would you do that?! I am so stupid at times.) That gave a bad impression on the principal. Oh well, still got the interview to persuade them.

umm, be funny, say something funny but don't try too hard. Just explain what you can do for the school. You'll be fine

 

[UnbiasedProductivity]

Do a front-flip.

 

[DatAtarLyfe]

Tell them that everyone gets free KFC on fridays. The school will be at your feet

 

[UnbiasedProductivity]

Coke in the taps?

Nah complementary bj's from the hot teachers

I honestly don't think I'm close enough to throw food at them. I'm also not sure if the whole school votes for captain. I've never done it before but our school grounds hasn't done speeches before so it may be a year of firsts.

My approach is basically tell them my name and that I'm cool then walk off. But seriously what can I actually say in 45 seconds to get my point across?

I disagree.
If you have done enough for the school then the teachers should already know who you are.
Instead talk about why you are a good leader and what you will do if you get the position.

 

[UnbiasedProductivity]

That escalated quickly. Drop asum siq beatz.

Well the team that chose the captains at our school was 3 random p&c ladies, the principal who has only been here for a year, and this years captains (who i know). So i pretty much had to spoon feed everyone what i have done

 

[ICanDoIt_23]

Just be your best!
Be confident and determine!
And basically just talk about what kind of leader you are/will be for the school!
Goodluck!
Smash it!

 

[DatAtarLyfe]

Yo do you guys get money if your in the leadership team? Cause at our school, we got 200 each. XD
