Prefect Leadership

Nineteen School Prefects arrived at School last week to take part in a Leadership program. Led by Mrs. Kingstone, the retreat emphasized the important role this group will play in making 2009-2010 a successful year. Participants explored their individual gifts and talents to illuminate elements of character beneficial to group dynamics and to fulfilling their responsibilities as Shawnigan ambassadors. On day two, the students hiked up Mt. Tzouhalem and also picked blackberries for a blackberry crisp contest. A yoga session introduced them the to the art of breathing (even when faced with uncomfortable positions). Later, Mr. Robertson met with the Prefects to counsel them on essential leadership qualities and to discuss the opportunities they will have to mentor younger students and their peers. We all look forward to the leadership of this Prefect group.
