Culture of resilience

This Prefect report will be very different from those of the past. At the conclusion of Term 1, the Prefects usually have carnivals, events and fundraisers to help organise and participate in. This is not the case for the 2020 Prefects due to the unprecedented times we are living through. Fortunately, we were able to sneak in a few events before we were all homebound. There is no doubt that this year is going to be one for the record books!

We started off the year with the Leaders' Commissioning in St Mary’s Cathedral. This was a motivator for the Year 12 cohort to make the most of their leadership opportunities. Following this, we had a busy week arise with the Big Splash; the annual International Women’s Day breakfast (IWD), which we hosted at the College, and the Alliance of Girls' Schools AustraIasia IWD breakfast at Ogilvie High School. The aim of these events is to empower women to live out their dreams and be the best version of themselves they can be.

With preparations for the Mother’s Day breakfast sadly cancelled, the Prefects kept busy by making knitted blankets. Once completed, these blankets will be donated to St Vincent de Paul for its Winter Appeal and distributed by Loui’s Van and other Vinnies groups for Tasmania’s homeless community.

This year, as Presentation people, our resilience is certainly being tested. To address this challenge, the Prefect body created an online video offering study tips and wellbeing advice to our fellow students as we all learn to cope with adversity at this time.

The Prefects are pleased to be back at school with everyone and we can't wait to get back to planning big and exciting things!
