Student Leadership

Boarding life offers students many opportunities to become involved in the co-curricular life of the school. All Boarding programs are run either by the Boarding staff or by students under the support and guidance of Boarding staff, creating a safe, supportive and enjoyable environment for students to develop leadership and teamwork skills. Students are encouraged to create new committees and groups as they are inspired with new and innovative ideas that will help to enrich Boarding Life.

Boarding Prefect

The Boarding Prefect is a member of the elected school Prefects group in her graduating year. She acts as a liaison between the Senior School student body and the Boarding community and acts as a role model and mentor within the Boarding house. Her leadership role involves running the Boarding Student Council, speaking on behalf of the Boarding community at all school assemblies, and organizing annual events.

Boarding Student Council

The Boarding Student Council is a group of students and staff who help to organize the co-curricular life of the Boarding program. The council is also a forum for discussion of house issues and student and/or staff concerns. The Boarding Prefect, Council Committee members, Heads of House, and the Senior Boarding Advisor, all participate in the Boarding Student Council.

Boarding Student Council Committees

Each year, a group of students is selected to serve as student leaders in the Boarding program. Committees can include International Mindedness, Wellness, Spirit, Communications and MYP Representatives. The Committees for this year will be determined in early September.

The Heads of House (students in either Grade 11 or 12) are elected by the students living in each house. All students serving on the Boarding Student Council act as liaisons between students and staff, while working together to foster a positive and supportive environment for all members of the Boarding community.
