Becoming a Prefect - What would you do?


Seven of Orchard’s Year 12 pupils have applied for the role of a prefect for the next academic year.

The process started when we had to first write a letter of application to the Headmaster saying why we would like to become a prefect and why we should become prefects. On Wednesday evening the seven of us (Max Hearnden, Charlie Hancock, Harry Fisher, Oscar Burgess, Alex Collis, Hux Loudoun, Ruaridh Scott) all had our first interviews with both Mr Curtis and Mr Mallins. Both asked us questions on why we should be prefects and why we would like to be prefects. We were all given a situation that as a prefect we could come across and we had to say how we would deal with that situation, the situations varied from catching friends smoking in school, seeing the Headmaster smoke himself on school grounds to Year 10’s not behaving in the lunch queue. The interviews were tough as we were really put on the spot with some questions and had no time to think of the answer. The process has given us a practical insight on how to apply and interview for future careers.

We are currently waiting to see if we are going to make it through to the next stage were we will be interviewed by The Headmaster and other Senior Members of Staff.
