Become head girl at school? (3,2)

I believe the answer is:

get on

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'become' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to change as well as being verbs in their base form.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'head girl at school?' is the wordplay.
'head' says to take the initial letters.
'at' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'school?' becomes 'eton' (famous UK public school).
The initial letter of 'girl' is 'g'.
'g'+'eton'='GET ON'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for get on that I've seen before include "fare" , "Board (a bus)" , "Agree - embark - make progress" , "Board - prosper" , "Age; prosper" .)
