All Year 11 girls who have applied are eligible to be considered for a position. The students in Years 10 and 11, as well as the outgoing Prefects (2021) and staff are invited to cast between 6 and 30 votes, and all votes have equal value. When voting, electors should consider their selections carefully and vote for only those students who they believe will carry out their duties reliably and responsibly. They should select students who are always willing to fulfil their obligations and uphold the standards and values of the College.

The voting process is conducted electronically. Instructions to vote will be sent via email to all those involved. The online voting system will open at 11:00am on 26 July and close at 5:00pm on 27 July. Once a student or staff vote has been submitted, it cannot be altered.

Nominating

Students who would like to nominate for a House Prefect position are also required to submit a short video which will outline their views on House leadership and why they are interested in the role. Similarly, this should be accompanied by a written CV listing their achievements and contributions to their House. Students will receive detailed information about the format and suggested content for their application. All applications must be uploaded by 8:00am on Wednesday 14 July. In fairness to all, no late applications can be considered. Instructions on how to submit an application will be communicated directly to the girls.

All applicants for individual House Prefects should be aware that their application video will be screened to their House prior to the voting process. All students and staff in each House are invited to cast between 2 and 4 votes, and all votes have equal value.

NB: Students are welcome to apply for positions across all areas. Those interested in both House Prefect and other roles should submit two separate applications through both of these processes.

The interview process – all positions, including House

As a result of the voting outcome and her application, shortlisted students will be invited to participate in the interview process with the Leadership Selection Committee. Each interviewee will be invited to discuss her strengths and her understanding of the role. She may also wish to make suggestions to improve the opportunities and experiences for students at the College. Students under consideration for an Executive role will be invited to a second interview. It is important to note that progression from the interview stage to a position of leadership is not automatic. As such, shortlisted students should prepare carefully for their interview.

If students or parents have any questions, they should direct these to the Head of Senior School.
