PREFECT SYSTEM

Over the past few years the prefect system has evolved into one where senior pupils apply for posts as sports prefects, support for learning prefects, social events prefects, health promotion prefects etc. Prefects negotiate time to carry out their responsibilities which provide an excellent opportunity for personal and social development. While the prefects develop skills of communication and teamwork, and gain confidence in using personal initiative, the younger pupils enjoy the activities and events which prefects organise. Some prefects also work alongside younger pupils in classes as part of the process of helping them settle into their new learning environment. For the seniors this is also a very useful learning experience.
