Senior Prefects

Each year a number of 5th and 6th Year students apply for and are selected to be prefects.

Those chosen have demonstrated their leadership within the student body and have the qualities deemed necessary to undertake a leadership role within the school. Prefects carry out a number of important tasks within the school:

• Support and mentor younger students
• Represent the student body
• Represent the school externally
• Assist in the maintenance of discipline within the school
• Support and help staff
• Carry out other important functions in the school when requested.

The prefect's role is an important one and we are very fortunate with the quality of prefects we currently have. From the cohort of prefects each year the Head Girl and Deputy Head Girl are selected. The Head Girl for 2024 - 2025 is Isabelle Barton Murphy and the Deputy Head Girl is Eabheann Conneely.
