While the senior prefects are Ben Louis from Hernani near Ebor, and Bonnie Bremner from Inverell, a student from Glen Innes, Henry Hughes was appointed a deputy senior prefect.
The other deputy senior prefect inducted was Georgie O’Brien from Gunnedah.
They will be supported by 13 other prefects from Newcastle, Moree, Burren Junction, Grafton, Walcha and Armidale.
At their induction ceremony, Headmaster Murray Guest said prefectship was not a prize for what has already been done already, but a call is to assist the direction of the school in maintaining its standards in all areas, supporting students and inspiring pride in the school through good example.
“Above all, they have been called to join in our most important task – ensuring that every student in this school is able to feel supported and is confident that his or her best efforts will be applauded and never derided,” he said.
