Senior Student Officials

In school we have the following senior student officials:

Heads of School – recognised by white braiding on their blazers

Dundas Heads of house and Depute head – recognised by yellow braiding on their blazers

Hopetoun Heads of house and Depute head – recognised by blue braiding on their blazers

Rosebery Heads of house and Depute head – recognised by red braiding on their blazer

How are we elected?

Heads of School – The heads of school are elected by senior students and members of staff. Anyone who is interested in this position puts their name forward and presents a speech to 5th and 6th year pupils and staff as to why they feel they would be best for the position. A ballot is then held that decides the two new heads of school.

Heads of House – These positions are also voted for by members of staff and senior students, however, the students can only vote for their own house. The first two candidates with the most votes are elected as the new Heads of House and the third person becomes Depute Head.

Prefects – Prefects are elected by nominating themselves to this role and are decided by members of staff. Prefects can be recognised by a small ribbon of their house colour. Dundas - yellow; Hopetoun - blue; Rosebery - red.
