Sixth Year Students have the opportunity to take on "prefect responsibilities" and "prefect privileges".

Responsibilities:

• To follow all school rules and guidelines.
• To set high standards and to give leadership to other pupils.
• To help supervise younger pupils at intervals, lunchtimes and during bus journeys and to report any misconduct.
• To assist at parents' evenings and other events.
• To serve on a 6th Year Committee.
• 6th Year Committees include: Charities, Dances, Discos, Hospitality, Excursions, Communications.

Privileges:

• The use of an excellent common room at intervals and lunchtimes.
• The use of the library for study at non-class times.
• Timetabled "common-room periods".
• The privilege of explaining their own absences.

Entry to sixth year is not automatic. Students must have shown they are able to cope with the increased level of freedom and be willing to share the responsibilities of the sixth year. A small number of students may not be granted the privileges of Sixth Year. They will still have access to the same range of courses.

The school benefits greatly from the services and example of the sixth year. Sixth year students gain from the experience of taking on responsibilities in the wider school community.
