In the last few weeks, a group of Middle School students, representing Grades 6, 7 and 8 were appointed as Junior Prefects, mirroring the Prefect system in place in the Upper School.
The more than 50 students who applied went through a vigorous process. Each student submitted a written application and a teach recommendation, then went through an interview process before being selected to represent their grade level as a Prefect.
