Chronicle-2019

16 The prefect body of 2019 has done an exceptional job, putting the needs of the College before their own and stepping up to the plate to further the achievements of the successful Class of 2018. Although they knew that this would be a tough task, they rose to the occasion. Many sacrifices have been made, knowing that there will be little or no reward for them personally. This is truly admirable and sets the standard that not only the prefects, but every boy at the College, should look to achieve. The goals for 2019 discussed at the prefect seminar before school opened were to: To create a sense of unity within the whole school, not just grades; to back each other, even when you do not agree; not to undermine each other; to have mutual respect for everyone; Have a bond with the guys that they are responsible for whilst ensuring they remain level-headed. These goals have all been achieved and will all play a major role in making the Kearsney of today the best it can be. There have been times where there were minor setbacks and some issues to deal with, but the team reacted maturely and sorted them out. The group have grown tremendously as individuals and learnt many life lessons that I am sure will stay with them for the rest of their lives. These lessons include decision-making, problem-solving and time-management. Although the prefect body had extra responsibilities and authority compared to the rest of the Matrics, they managed to remain level-headed. Occasionally people who are put in positions with power will abuse their power and stray from who they were before they were elected. This has not been the case for anyone in the prefect body of 2019. Overall, the prefect body, with the help and cooperation of the other Matric boys, have had a successful year and I believe they have earned the respect of the whole school. We have set the bar extremely high for the Class of 2020 and we wish them all the best for next year.
