Governing Body & Prefects

PREFECTS / PREFEKTE

Juf. N Grobbelaar

DOEL / PURPOSE

We take great pride in our prefects here at Sedgefield Primary. To be a prefect you must be a leader. You must be willing to stand up for what is right, and speak the truth, even if your peers do not agree with you.

Ons prefekte maak seker dat alles vlot by die skool verloop.

HOW TO BECOME A PREFECT

The educators at the school keep an eye on the learners from as young as Gr.4. Leerders moet leierseienskappe toon en kan bewys dat hulle die regte persoon vir die werk is.
When the learners are in Gr.6, the Gr4-6 learners vote for the Head boy and Head girl. This is kept a secret.
Om ‘n prefek te word, is daar ‘n lys van vereistes wat die Gr.5-7 onderwysers saam bespreek.
The list has been read to all Gr.6 learners before, and they know what is expected of them.
At the end of the meeting, the top 16 learners with the highest scores become prefects.

WHAT DO PREFECTS DO?

When you have been chosen to be a prefect, at the first break of every term, a prefect meeting will take place.
We will discuss prefect duties, what a prefect must look like, and how they should act.
They have to sign a letter that states that they agree with the terms of that meeting.
Breaking any rules, prefects get THREE warnings, before their badge is taken away.

Community work

Prefects usually reach out to the community or raise funds to help where we can.
We have fundraisers at school. The money is used to give back to the community.

PREFECT BADGE

The prefect badge must be worn at all times, even when it is civvies.

LASTLY

Prefects set the example for the rest of the school. They are held to a very high standard and must own up to any mistakes they make. Our prefects make us proud, and being a prefect at Sedgefield Primary is an honour.
