Year 12 student Jack Salloway has demonstrated outstanding leadership and independence in organising this year’s Remembrance Day commemorations across Wilson Stuart School.
A dedicated member of the Scouts, Jack took the initiative to set up a school-wide remembrance event, highlighting his commitment to honouring those who served and sacrificed for freedom.
Jack began his efforts by arranging a meeting with a representative from the Royal British Legion, coordinating the collection of poppies and other items for sale to help raise funds for the charity.
He then rallied a team of fellow students, moving from class to class to encourage participation and raise money in support of soldiers and veterans.
In addition to these efforts within the school, Jack represented Wilson Stuart at an outdoor remembrance service, where he paid his respects alongside the wider community.
His dedication and sense of duty throughout the occasion have made him a remarkable ambassador for Wilson Stuart School.
Associate Head of Secondary, Tom Elmes, praised Jack’s initiative, stating: “Jack’s actions exemplify the core values we hold dear at Wilson Stuart.
“His leadership along with his respect have made a meaningful impact, reminding us all of the importance of remembrance and community.”
