Prefect Team
This year our senior prefect team consists of Anna MacQueen (Head), Calum Sampson(Head), Jack Henderson (Depute), Rachel Urquhart (Depute) and Chloe Cheyne (Depute). Their role is to coordinate and manage their large team of prefects and to work directly with the senior leadership team, guidance and the extended leadership team to ensure all views are being considered and implemented.
In our prefect team we have 50 S6 pupils who contribute to the curricular and extra-curricular life of the school. They are all assigned to subject departments to support them with:
Helping pupils who are finding the subject challenging and struggle with the pace of learning
Supporting specific classes where the need is particularly complex
Coming up with ideas for contextualising topics within courses
Run study support clubs at lunch and after school
Creating new and modern classroom resources
Designing and maintaining department noticeboards
Subject specific self-evaluation: focus groups; questionnaires etc on pace/challenge/depth/enjoyment
In addition to their departmental responsibilities, prefects also undertake a whole school role:
Lunch and break queue duty
Loneliness monitors- help pupils to find friendship groupings/attend lunch-time clubs etc
Mentoring some of our young people by supporting them emotionally, socially and academically
Organise school fundraisers
Carry out focus group interviews with pupils based on HGIOS questions
Liaise with the local community
Attend whole school events
Attend parent council meetings
Our prefect programme is pivotal to the ethos and day-to-day running of the school. Their role has evolved over time and will continue to do so for many years to come.
