We are Finn and Ryan and we are members of the Prefect Board.

Alongside Lily, Estella, Emelia, Kacey and our Deputy Head Daisy, we makeup the Community & Student Fundraising Portfolio which falls under the school value of Respect. As Community Prefects, we are responsible for all the events and fundraising activities for our Prefect Board Legacy. In addition we also attend all grade council meetings to make sure that the students in our school are heard and that they have a say in what other fundraisers they want to do.

My name is Finn and I am a member of the Community and Respect Portfolio. I want to be first to volunteer for everything and being a Prefect is something I’ve always wanted to be. When I’m not at school, I love playing video games, in particular Mario Kart and any other types of Nintendo games you do see me out and about, you’ll find I like going to the shops in the mall and just having a browse. My leadership journey begun from my three oldest cousins, Jess, Ollie and Alice who were all Prefects here well before me and since then I’ve aspired myself to reach this leadership position.

Looking back over the last three years I’ve been a Chair Monitor and a Canteen Helper and I’ve been on both the Grade 8 and 9 Councils. I was also a Transition Mentor for the Grade 6s last year. I love doing Drama when I’m at school and last year I enjoyed participating in a variety of festivals such as the Launceston Competitions and the Deloraine Drama Festival. I want to continue to do it again this year, not only to gain more confidence, but to also improve speaking as well. This year as a Prefect, I want to listen to all ideas and see them all come alive. I will continue to be a respectful peer for everyone around me.

My name is Ryan and I am also part of the Community and Respect Portfolio within the Prefect Board. I am always actively seeking out situations where I can help to get things fixed or assist other people. I am always wanting to learn new skills and improve the ones that I already have. I love being around people that I care about and I spend most of my time with other people. Outside of school I play cricket with the Riverside Cricket Club, I also spend my time doing jobs around the house, gardening, playing video games, painting but most importantly spending time with people. I have been part of a traineeship the school cafeteria for a Certificate 2 in Hospitality. I have always wanted to help the school in any way that I can and that is what aspired me to take on the role as Prefect.

My contributions to the school and its community include being part of the Year 7, 8, and 9 Councils. I have been a chair monitor and canteen helper as well as a Transition Mentor for this year’s Grade 7 students as they transitioned into High School. I am always looking to improve and better myself so that I can help more. One of my skills that needs to be improved is public speaking which I have already had the opportunity to do this year. This year I promise to work closely with the students so that their voices can be heard and make the school community a better and more welcoming environment for students. I want to make the most out of my last year and my goal by the end of the year is to have an impact on our school. I am looking forward to this year and I promise to uphold our school values and help to make everyone enjoy the year of 2024.
