PREFECT REPORT
Forging new friendships The Prefects, along with the rest of the Year 12 cohort, have enjoyed a busy start to the year. The Big Splash was the beginning of many lasts for the Year 12s, as we all enjoyed spending a day of fun at the pool with the Senior School, with great House spirit on display by all. Later in Term 1, a group of dedicated Senior students represented the College at Relay for Life, raising much-needed funds and awareness for Cancer Council Tasmania. This year, the Prefects have chosen the Hobart Women’s Shelter as the 2021 Prefect charity. Being an all-girls school, and in light of recent events in the media, the Prefects believe the Hobart Women’s Shelter is an important charity to raise funds and awareness for. Our first major fundraiser, the Mother’s Day Breakfast, was a huge success. Over 100 Year 12 mothers and daughters gathered to share breakfast and listen to alumna, Juliette Tria talk about her pathway in forensic science. The Big Night In saw the Year 11s and 12s spend a night at school bonding together. This, along with the introduction of a Year 11/12 Common Room footy competition, has helped to forge new friendships and friendly rivalries between the year groups, while strengthening existing relationships.
