Today we gather for an important moment in our school: the appointment of the new prefects. This is not just a ceremony to hand out badges and titles. It is a moment where responsibility, trust, and leadership are recognized — and renewed.
Prefects play a pivotal role in our school community. They are more than just rule enforcers. They are role models. They are examples in behaviour, in attitude, in diligence, and in respect. When a student sees a prefect walking the talk — being punctual, polite, hardworking — it reminds everyone what our school stands for.
Being appointed a prefect is an honour. It is a sign that the school entrusts you with representing your peers. But it is also a duty — a duty to serve. It means caring for others, listening to their concerns, helping to make this school a place where everyone feels safe, included, and respected.
To those who are being appointed today: I congratulate you. This position comes with challenges — maintaining discipline, being fair, balancing academics with duties — but also with great opportunities: to grow as leaders, to learn empathy, to make a real difference in the lives of others.
To the rest of the students, your part is just as important. Support your prefects. Respect them. Work with them. The success of a prefect’s leadership depends on a community that collaborates and respects guidelines not out of fear, but because they share a belief in the values of our school.
Let us all commit: prefects to serve well, students to respect, teachers to guide, and everyone to uphold the standards and spirit that make our school proud.
Thank you, and congratulations once again to the new prefects — may you carry out your roles with dignity, integrity, and kindness.
Signed
Rev Momma Queen Katung
(Executive Director of MTIS)
