Student Leadership

We believe that practical pupil participation is at the core of our Student Leadership programmes. They are hugely important in the management and running of the school. Our leadership programmes include Prefects, Head Boy/Girl and Student Council.

Prefects

Grange Community College prefects are students who are chosen to be given extra responsibilities in the school. Following a rigorous selection process each year, a select group of our senior students are chosen as the leaders of our student body. They are identified due to their leadership qualities.
Prefects are expected to:

• Support and mentor younger students with a higher focus on 1st years. Every 1st year group is assigned a specific prefect that will work closely with them.

• Represent the student body.

• Represent the school externally at school events.

• Assist with the three pillars of positive expectations in the school. Eg. Reminding younger students of their responsibilities at lunch time.

• Support and help staff whenever needed.

• Carry out important functions in the school when requested. Eg. Assist with guest speakers or parent’s evenings.

Head Boy/Girl

The head boy/girl is a student who has extra responsibilities of leadership in the school. They set an example for other students in the school. They are expected to:

• Be ambassadors for their school at events.

• At school parents’ evenings, they are usually present to speak with attendees.

• Organise the team of school prefects.

• Be a point of contact for students who are having issues at school.

• Be understanding and caring towards the younger students.
