I have sung in the Christmas talent shows, organised fundraising events, such as doughnut eating competitions and a variety show.
And I've worked on the School Council's work promoting HALT around the country.
Trip of a lifetime
In 2003 four students and myself travelled to Downing Street to accept The Giving Nation Award to acknowledge our hard work for HALT.
After a stirring speech by our school's head boy James Batty, we were rewarded with this trip of a lifetime, to South Africa.
Different life
We will be visiting Cape Flats, one of the townships, where life is very different.
Our group has discussed the many problems facing these areas; HIV/Aids, crime and poverty.
We will be working with pupils of our own age who are trained by the Red Cross in South Africa as peer mentors.
They educate their peers about HIV/Aids and the various ways of slowing this spread.
We have also been learning about Nelson Mandela and apartheid; we will be visiting Robben Island where Mandela was imprisoned.
Important work
I am extremely excited about the trip and am hoping to gain a greater understanding of a culture very different to Britain.
By the end of the trip I am sure that my own awareness of the work organisations do in communities at risk will have changed.
And I'll be able to see first hand the importance of the support they provide."
