Student Leadership
The College, as well as the leadership staff, has a system of student prefects and leaders. Every year the school allocates roles to the highest achieving, most punctual and attendant pupils. There is also a Head Boy and Head Girl elected each year.
The prefects, Head Boy and Head Girl are voted for by the staff of the school, including the Head Teacher and senior staff. When elected, the students hold the title for one academic year. The Heads of School, when elected, then take an active role in representing the school at events and also taking part in the administration of the school through the year that they hold the title. The heads of School and prefects are distinguished by the colour of their school ties. Students have been known to wear black ties with the school arms or more recently, bright red ties with the school arms.
As well as student prefects, there are also 'young leaders' in the lower years who have shown a keen interest and ability in sport. The 'young leaders' in the school have access to lots of opportunities, such as free sports coaching courses, attendance of sporting events, seminars and lectures, awards and recognition throughout the college.

“This I do know and can say to you: Our country is in more danger now than at any time since the Declaration of Independence. We don’t dare follow the Lindberghs, Wheelers and Nyes, casting suspicion, sowing discord around the leadership of Franklin D. Roosevelt. We don’t want revolution among ourselves.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
