College Prefects Commissioned for Leadership

With the new academic year underway, the College formally commissioned its 2025 Prefects in a ceremony held in the Chapel. This time-honoured tradition recognises students entrusted with the responsibility of leadership, as they pledge to uphold the values of Saint Kentigern with integrity, humility, and service. In front of their peers, staff, and families, each Prefect was presented with their badge and robe, symbolising their commitment to guiding the student body in the year ahead.

Principal Damon Emtage addressed the incoming leaders, reminding them of the weight of leadership and the significance of their role within the school. “Each of you carries a whakapapa, a lineage of ancestry, values, and personal history that shapes who you are. Your whakapapa does not exist in isolation; it connects to your whānau, community, and now, to this College. As Prefects, you’re entrusted with upholding and strengthening connection through our shared values.”

Head Prefects Amelia Evangelidakis and Luka Patumaka Makata also shared their vision for the year ahead. They introduced their mission statement, “Being leaders of today that inspire leaders of tomorrow,” highlighting their commitment to fostering a sense of unity within the leadership team and encouraging all students to embrace the many opportunities available at the College. Their message was clear: leadership is not just about holding a title but about taking action, stepping outside one’s comfort zone, and setting an example for others.

As the Prefects embark on their leadership journey, they do so with a strong sense of purpose and a shared commitment to serving the school community.
