School Officials
Monitors are chosen from the top year group of the school (Upper 6th); these pupils are deemed to have the best qualities of leadership and achievement in their year group. In addition there are the separate roles of heads of boarding and school houses, although a monitor may occasionally be chosen to fulfill this role as well.
On a school-wide level the 'best' monitor is made Head of School, and a deputy is appointed to assist him. Monitors can wear coloured waistcoats and brown shoes along with brass buttons on their blazers. Since 2004 monitors have been chosen by application and a selection committee.
The Heads of House are appointed directly by the Housemaster who also selects a Deputy and House Options except for Burnaby the 6th form Boarding House and Sandersons, where the students elect their Head and Deputy
