Hornsby Girls' High School - Prefects

Prefects

At Hornsby Girls High school, there is a prefect system with a School Captain, School Vice-Captain, two Senior Prefects and 20 other prefects. The Prefects aim to serve the school community in four main areas: School spirit and environment, service, public relations and policy, and events. A new group Year 12 Travel Prefects have been introduced from 2010. Their main responsibility is to monitor the conduct of HGHS students when in the public domain, travelling to and from school.

Prefects are responsible for many school initiatives and each year continue the tradition of the school's bi-annual concerts. The first major event organised by the newly elected prefects is the Christmas Concert. This is a light-hearted day concert for the whole school (usually consisting of Christmas songs, chamber ensembles, solo vocalists, dances, skits, and short plays from the two after-school drama groups), and helps to maintain the Christmas and holiday spirit in the last week of school. Prefects and Year 12 combined organise the annual LipSync concert as their last official contribution to the school. The auditions for LipSync are form a free day concert for all students to see. From these auditions, outstanding performances are chosen to participate in front of a large audience of the public and the school community at the evening concert. Lipsync is a concert of dancing, miming and LipSyncing. The 'Teachers' Act' is traditional, as are the 'Prefects' Act' and the 'SRC Act'.
