BEN MARSHALL-LEE Head Prefect 2017
to focus on achieving some of these ideas this year. • I would like to be seen as a role model, a voice for all boys at school and to be remembered as a leader who could help make changes and improvements. What differences would you like to make in your role? • One of the main changes I would like to make is changing the partial segregation that exists through the House system. I still think the House system is an amazing aspect of the school, but it can keep boys separated from other Houses during breaks. To try and fix this, I want to get the boys out of their Houses at lunchtimes, mingling
How do you see your role as Head Prefect? • I see my role as putting me in a position to help make the school a better place for the boys. This gives me the opportunity to voice my own ideas for improvements, with the aim to leave the school in a better place than when I first arrived. • I believe the boys are one of the most powerful tools I have to achieve this. A great example of this are the newly-formed student senate meetings. After attending the first one, I have already started to develop a picture of how the boys would like to see the school in the future, and will look
with other Houses and year groups. This term, we have been encouraging boys to get out on Upper and kick a ball around or play a game of touch. It has been really successful. • Another change I would like to implement is setting up social sport within the school. At this stage, it looks like touch is the most popular idea for this. • I would also like to continue to develop the emerging student voice. In line with this, I would like to see more opportunities for student-led leadership and events, with more activities such as Arts Week.
