Celebrating Student Leadership: Prefect Selection Process

Our Year 11 students have engaged in a rigorous journey toward student leadership as part of our prefect selection process. This began with students attending our Leadership Camp back in Term 2, where they explored the values, responsibilities, and challenges of leadership. From there, students submitted written nominations, expressing their interest and outlining their vision for contributing to our school community.

Shortlisting was based on a holistic review of each candidate’s community service, behaviour, attendance, and academic performance. Those shortlisted then participated in our Oratory Competition, showcasing their ability to communicate with confidence and purpose. Following this, candidates took part in interviews with current Prefects and members of the Executive Team, where they reflected on their leadership aspirations and shared their ideas for making a positive impact. This week, we have reached the final stage: speeches to the school community, followed by voting.

Students who are successfully voted in by both peers and staff will be allocated leadership portfolios. These will be determined based on student preferences as well as the unique strengths and qualities each candidate brings to the team. The announcement of our 2026 Prefect Team will take place on the last day of this term. Individual prefect portfolios will be revealed at our end-of-year Speech Night, and our Head Girls will be formally announced at the 2026 Investiture Ceremony in Term 1 next year.

We are incredibly proud of all students who have participated in this process. Their commitment, courage, and character have been evident at every stage. We look forward to seeing the positive impact our future leaders will have on our school community.
