Prefects: Leading by example. Community
Trinity prefects embody the values of the school, serving as our biggest ambassadors, and the very best examples of what Trinity students aspire to become. They command the respect of their peer group, staff, and younger students, serving as role models of the good humans we aspire our students to become. We appoint around 50 prefects every year from the Upper Sixth, including eight senior prefects, two heads of school and a deputy. We want to ensure that prefects accurately reflect the student body, in terms of backgrounds, interests and personalities. It is also important that various facets of student life are represented; be that Art, Drama, Music, STEM or Sports.
“The responsibility to represent the school's values has made me be a better version of myself.” “I set my sights on being a prefect when I was a JBug; I really looked up to them and they got to wear cool Harry Potter style robes. I’ve enjoyed the regular duties and, through these, forming relationships with staff and other prefects.”
