Prefects  

Prefects engage in "training" exercises at the beginning of each school year
Prefects are sixth form (senior) student residential life advisers elected by the faculty and dorm parents to reside in underform (third through fifth form) dormitories. A prefect serves as assistant dorm parent and older brother or sister to the students on his or her hall. These leaders have the responsibility of keeping order as well as advising and assisting younger students in dealing with school life.

Intensive training is required of all prefects including an initial orientation program and weekly training sessions conducted throughout the year. Rising sixth form Hill students who wish to hold this leadership position may submit an application to become a prefect.

Some of the responsibilities of prefects include:

  • Act as a liaison between students and faculty
  • Check-in underformers at night
  • Monitor dorm chores
  • Assist the faculty dorm team on evenings and weekends
  • Offer peer counseling
  • Plan social events for the dorms
Qualities desired in prefects include sensitivity, self-discipline, maturity, and reliability. The prefect selection process is rather competitive; to be named a Hill prefect is quite an honor.
