    If you've shown any leadership qualities in the last or were involved in clubs or events you could mention these. Perhaps say you want the position to give back something to the school. You're punctual, trustworthy etc also.

    Unfortunately I haven't been part of any clubs in my school which I know will pull me down a lot in this application but I still think if I write it well I'll have a chance! Going to mention being cinnire a lot as well

    Things have changed usually this just went to a class vote in my school anyway. Best of luck I am sure you'll be grand :)

    The cinnire thing is excellent. Mention that you enjoy coming up with new ideas or solutions to problems and you would enjoy serving as a role model to younger pupils, you understand how important the position is etc etc. Make sure your application looks well of course, no errors - good luck!

    Those are some good tips from Anonymagician there.

    Also, try to talk about how you saw senior students when you were younger. You looked up to them (or not) and how you'd like you improve/change that.

    I think it all depends on the school, really. I was just drafted in 3 years ago :P
