What is a Prefect? A Prefect is a student in their graduating year who is elected by students, teachers, and staff to lead the school community. Working together as a team, they regularly meet to plan activities that inspire school spirit and set the tone for the school year. Prefects have a responsibility to act as role models for younger students and their peers, all while maintaining a strong academic record.
Prefect Perspective
An inside look at life at Albert College, from a current Prefect's point of view.
Coming Back to Albert
I have been to several schools during my academic career, which both started and will end at Albert College. I started school in Pre-Kindergarten and will end my high school schooling this June. I cannot remember much from my time in Junior School, but I do have fond memories of sledding with my class, class plays, field trips and house league events. My experience at Albert formulated a large part of who I am today. I think of my time in Junior School as creating a solid foundation of learning and these final two years of high school as providing the final touches of who I am today.
The Albert College education is a different experience from the other schools I have attended. The large class sizes of my other school felt overwhelming. I felt that I was just a face in the crowd. Albert’s small class sizes and involved teachers made me feel a part of a tight-knit community where every teacher knows you.
Coming back to Albert College for my final two years of high school was akin to a full circle moment, finishing my schooling in the same place where I started my school days and with many of the same people. I was excited to come to Albert in Grade 11. Moving schools has always been an exciting journey for me. Meeting new people and making new friends has always been enjoyable for me, and this fits, as I am the Community Prefect this year (formerly called the Chapel Prefect). My portfolio consists of creating the plan for and opening the morning announcements. When I returned last year, I never would have imagined where I would be today - a prefect whose role is directly connected to creating a sense of community and belonging, the exact thing which brought me back to Albert for my final two years of high school.
