PREFECTS are decided on by all the teachers. Students who aspire to be prefects have to write a letter of application explaining why they feel they would be good at the job and the qualities they possess which would enable them to do the job effectively. Teachers have been closely monitoring the applicants over the course of the last few weeks and we are pleased to announce that Francesca Plaskett and Verity Mack have been chosen as our first two prefects for the year.
