Over the next few weeks, each of the prefects will take on several roles in developing the student voice, coordinating committees and acting as a liaison between staff and students. Each Friday morning the prefects join the rest of the student leadership team for breakfast to discuss ideas and debate on ways to develop and strengthen the Holyport community. On Wednesday the majority of the tutor representatives joined the student leadership team to discuss and feedback on the school uniform policy. The session was coordinated by Mrs Crocker, Fawcett Housemaster - all of the information gathered has now been passed onto Mr McCarey to consider. Each of the students have now received enamel badges from Miss Kerr to identify which house they belong to. The student leadership team is currently looking at ways the school can provide more opportunities for each of the houses to come together for competitive activities. This week, Harry and Azeezah met for the first time with the newly appointed Heads of House. The meeting got off to a good start with the arrival of a box of Krispy Kremes! It was wonderful to see all of the team actively participating in a conversation and discussing the future of Holyport College. The student leadership team has been selected based on a model of diversity and a true representation of the Holyportian. All of the team have now started to identify key areas they wish to develop further and this will inevitably involve the rest of the students. Mr Parry Head of Student Leadership
I managed to catch six of the Heads of House after the school photographs on Thursday afternoon: Brunel - Ella King and Ethan Baker - Milton - Amelia Tiernay and Harvey Portsmouth Fawcett - Beth Wiltshire and Dylan Farr.
