Student Leadership
Hemish Gurnani
Head of KGV Student Council
I am deeply passionate about creating a positive influence within our school community. Being the president, provides me with the platform and opportunity to contribute efficiently to the betterment of our school environment. Additionally, I see leadership as a chance to develop personal skills such as communication, problem-solving and teamwork, which help me in my future as well. Being a Head of the Student Council, I am dedicated to serving the school community in every way possible. I see it as my responsibility to utilise the trust placed in me to extend support to areas that students may not always have direct access to. A few key aspects of my role are to advocate for necessary changes, louder student voices, and working on initiatives aimed at the betterment of our school. I aim to leverage my role to bridge the gap between students and administration.
Garvit Puri
Head of KGV Student Council
I have decided to become a student leader because it gives me the ability to make meaningful and significant differences within the community in order to benefit the student body in a way that betters their school experience here at KGV. I have a strong belief for each student to be heard, thereby I desire to enhance communication among students to make everyone feel listened to.
As a Head of the Student Council, I get to take part in and assemble the initiatives that the Student Council team works on. Therefore, through effective communication within the team, I can address any issues and concerns our peers have which can be discussed further to find a solution and try to be implemented with our best efforts.

Head Prefect
I am so honoured to be one of your new 2024 Head Prefect. From the second I walked through the front hall 5 years ago, KGV has been like a second home to me, and this year I want to make it my mission to give back to the school that has given me so much. Throughout my time at the school I have been incredibly lucky to have been presented with so many opportunities to grow as a person. From captivating challenge weeks to an abundance of after school activities the sheer number of possibilities KGV presents its students are incredible, and really allows each and every student to grow both individually and with their peers. In year 9, I was a member of the Middle School Student council, and seeing the positive impact even small changes can make really inspired me to want to contribute to making KGV a better place for everyone. I am currently taking the IB, and in my free time I love to bake, cook, and read. I also love going on family hikes- It’s my favourite way to relax and escape from the noise of the city. As well as my brother and I both being students at KGV, my mum used to teach here, and my dad has been a teacher here for over 20 years, so really for us KGV is a real family affair!
Sasha Sing
Head Prefect
When I was little, I eagerly listened to my brother and sister share stories of their friends and cherished memories at KGV, and now, being a part of this community has far exceeded my expectations. From the welcoming atmosphere formed by talented students and dedicated teachers to the multitude of facilities catered to every student’s interests, KGV is a nurturing environment where I, along with countless other students, have thrived. Along my journey, I’ve had the privilege of serving as a middle school house captain, the Upsdell dance captain, and a member of the Charity Committee. These experiences have given me a firsthand look at the incredible impact that leadership and active community involvement can have. Currently an IB student, I find relaxation in a passionate game of Mahjong. On Fridays, you might just find me shuffling away on the Leo’s balcony. In my remaining free time, I enjoy dancing and cooking. Looking ahead to the next year, my aim is to cultivate an environment of inclusivity, excellence, and collective achievement. Together, let us embark upon a journey of transformation and triumph, ensuring that the corridors of KGV resound with the echoes of our shared success.
