While it was announced at the Senior Prizegiving last year, the start of the year is also a great time to (re)introduce our 2025 prefects. All prefects were selected through a democratic process involving student votes, staff input, and interviews.

We also know and appreciate that not all students are highly noticeable when it comes to leadership – they are often the quiet ones who get things done behind the scenes with no fanfare. To recognise this, we appoint Honorary Prefects a little later in the year to acknowledge young women who just get on and do things. We hope that this helps students to realise that every person has leadership capability – that it is not all about being popular – it is about how you make a difference to others. This is the true meaning of Ut Serviamus – being humble and giving – making a difference for others.
