Established in 1926 by Headmistress Miss Wilkinson, the House system was designed to \u201chave a profound effect on the development of our school,\u201d increasing \u201centhusiasm in work and sport.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, our Houses give every girl a strong sense of belonging and connection; a place where she feels known, supported and valued; a place where friendships grow and memories are created that will last long after they have departed the Green Gates.<\/p>\n<p>Over the next 12 months the House Officials will lead their peers in Inter-House competitions in Sports, Music, Drama, Debating and other activities. They will model service leadership, be agents of change and impact and continue the friendly House rivalry of their predecessors.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23966 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2025\/10\/Prefects-e1760502043994.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"675\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse;width: 100%\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 25%\">\u00a0<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 25%\"><strong>House Prefect<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 25%\"><strong>Vice House Captains<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 25%\"><strong>Committee<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 25%\"><strong>Badham<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 25%\">Ava Weekes<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 25%\">Lily Cooney<br \/>\nLola Hush<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 25%;text-align: left\">\n<p>Eva Ancher<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: inherit;font-size: inherit;letter-spacing: 0px\">Mia Chang<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-family: inherit;font-size: inherit;letter-spacing: 0px\">Lily Matison<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 25%\"><strong>Barton<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 25%\">Verona Floro<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 25%\">\n<p>Olivia Davis<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: inherit;font-size: inherit;letter-spacing: 0px\">Summer McCarthy<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 25%\">\n<p>Ella McCormack<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: inherit;font-size: inherit;letter-spacing: 0px\">Isha Singh<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-family: inherit;font-size: inherit;letter-spacing: 0px\">Yang Zhou<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 25%\"><strong>Beck<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 25%\">Ingrid Fairbairn<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 25%\">\n<p>Natalie Assaad<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: inherit;font-size: inherit;letter-spacing: 0px\">Annaliese Stackpool<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 25%\">\n<p>Camille Asher<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: inherit;font-size: inherit;letter-spacing: 0px\">Harriet Christie<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-family: inherit;font-size: inherit;letter-spacing: 0px\">Sophia Quick<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 25%\"><strong>Christian<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 25%\">Georgia O\u2019Keefe<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 25%\">\n<p>Matilda Emanuel<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: inherit;font-size: inherit;letter-spacing: 0px\">Mia Sparks<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 25%\">\n<p>Caitlin Cameron<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: inherit;font-size: inherit;letter-spacing: 0px\">Katerina Giannikouris<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-family: inherit;font-size: inherit;letter-spacing: 0px\">Claire Gyton<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 25%\"><strong>Docker<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 25%\">Isabelle Rath-Mazzochi<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 25%\">\n<p>Willow Buchanan<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: inherit;font-size: inherit;letter-spacing: 0px\">Helena O\u2019Brien<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 25%\">\n<p>Josephine Grayden<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: inherit;font-size: inherit;letter-spacing: 0px\">Ivy Ogilvie-Duggan<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-family: inherit;font-size: inherit;letter-spacing: 0px\">Ava Woo<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 25%\"><strong>Langley<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 25%\">Zara Torrance<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 25%\">\n<p>Ashaa Bonner<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: inherit;font-size: inherit;letter-spacing: 0px\">Yolanda Liu<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 25%\">\n<p>Marnie Flett<br \/>\nSophia Grehan<br \/>\nMarni Hootman<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The commissioning of our Prefects was held in the Chapel, a fitting setting that reminds us of the Christian values of our School, underpinned by the notion that true leadership is service to others.
