HONORARY PREFECTS
At the end of Term 2, six honorary prefects were appointed – congratulations to Anika Wood, Kaea Heke, Hannah Smith, Felicity Bannatyne, Georgia Burns and Bella Cranefield.
“At its simplest, ‘Bridging the Gap’ represents connection,” she says. “Connection between knowing our values and actually practising them.”
‘Bridging the Gap’ underpins the School’s Ko Ta¯tou initiative focus of Being decently genuine and Caring for the environment this year.
“Our focus on ‘Bridging the Gap’ will enable us to not only talk about being genuine or caring for the environment, but also to put our words into action,” says Aniva.
Leading Through Example
The student leaders plan to put ‘Bridging the Gap’ into practice through a range of initiatives throughout the year, the first one being Neighbourhoods. The concept encourages interaction and connections between tutor groups by pairing up groups to play a range of games.
“Playing games will hopefully start that initial conversation between students, allowing them to get to know each other and hopefully build a relationship, therefore bridging the gap between year levels and houses,” says Sammy.
They will also focus on their theme for their presentations to different year groups and full school assemblies, and also by acting as role models.
“We know that the younger students look up to the senior students for guidance, and follow their example,” says Sammy. “We plan to demonstrate and exemplify all the values that encompass young women in a contemporary world.”
