Leadership & Service
All Grade 12 students have the opportunity to take on a leadership role in our school. With a staff advisor for support, each Grade 12 student chooses an area of responsibility. The areas selected may be as diverse as graphic design, the environment, Head of House, or public relations. A minimum number of community service hours in the chosen area of interest must be completed by each prefect. Students who honour their prefect responsibilities and duties will have the title of 'School Prefect' noted on their permanent school record.
In addition to Prefectships, all Grade 12 students have responsibilities in helping to run the school. These duties include, but are not limited to:
- setting a high academic standard
- ensuring that all students are made to feel a welcome and a valued member of the RNS community
- modeling appropriate behaviour at all times
- wearing the uniform appropriately
- helping faculty in all school functions and activities
- monitoring of school property
- helping to maintain the physical plant
- performing the role as Duty Prefect
- contributing to the success of their houses
Regular meetings with faculty advisors and Prefect reviews ensure the success of the student's leadership role. The ultimate success of each Prefectship is however very much in the hands of the student.
