CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR PREFECTS The role of prefect at our school is very significant. We are a large, busy, diverse school, with wide-reaching learning programmes, co-curricular activities and different events happening every day. To identify a team of 60 prefects who are able to offer leadership across all of those areas is quite a challenge. A prefect at Avondale College cannot just be a leader of their friend group or their sports team. A prefect at Avondale College cannot just be a leader of a single cultural group or regard leadership as something that they do between 8.55am and 3.15pm. A prefect at Avondale College has to have the ability to lead across all year levels of students, and must also have the capability to relate well to the teachers and other adults who are part of our school community. A prefect at Avondale College must be able to relate to students from the full range of cultural diversity and ethnic backgrounds, in a way that is inclusive, non-judgemental and respectful. Prefects at Avondale College embrace our HEART values, and exemplify them by their actions. That includes in the classroom, on the stage, on the sports field and out in our community. Their leadership is built on being responsible, hardworking and well-rounded members of our community, who honour our HEART values in the broadest sense of their meaning. Many congratulations to all of the prefects who have been awarded their badges this week, and particularly to the eight Senior Prefects who, I am confident, will have the support of our wider College community over the year ahead.
