2020 Leadership - College Prefects

At the first, formal College assembly for the new year, the Prefect Leadership team was commissioned. This year we congratulate Lulu Denholm and Will Bason, whose leadership skills, hard work and pride in the College have seen them appointed as this year’s Head Prefects. Both Lulu and Will have committed themselves fully to their academic, co-curricular and service endeavours during their college years, both demonstrating their potential to fulfil the Saint Kentigern Vision to ‘Lead and Serve with Distinction.’

Lulu and Will will be supported by Olivia Brewster and Hayden Joyce, who have been appointed as Deputy Head Prefects, as well as an extended team that includes Academic, Chapel, Art, Service and Sport Prefects, and House Leaders.

The selection of prefect roles is a lengthy process and students who are selected are often ‘all-rounders’ who have taken advantage of the many opportunities that Saint Kentigern has to offer. Congratulations to all the students who have been appointed as Prefects for 2020.
