To: Prefect Selection Committee, May 2015

I have known Turkay since the beginning of his Year 8 at the London Nautical School. In this time he has consistently impressed me with his maturity and social awareness, he has a quick wit and a subtle mind.

Turkay has developed a strong relationship with a number of teachers in the department of English. He has done so on the basis of a strong body of work, his personable nature and ironic humour. Turkay’s path through Key Stage 3 has not been without turbulence, however his experience testing the boundaries of the school institution might well stand him in good stead when representing the school in the future.

With a strong focus and a redoubled commitment to the ethos and life of the London Nautical School, I believe Turkay has the capacity to make an outstanding prefect. He is a confident public speaker, and enthusiastic advocate for matters he believes in and an influential character amongst his peers. If Turkay can convince the panel that his commitment to the London Nautical School is firm, he will bring a great deal to the role and has my recommendation.
