Languages and Communications Prefects - Sofia Costa Franco

1. Explain your role 
As languages and communications prefect, I will be focusing on making students feel more secure in practicing all language skills in the languages we teach at St. Paul's, and understanding the endless benefits that language-learning can provide them in the future. This includes organizing internal and external language-based competitions at school, expanding the activities and workshops that are conducted during the themed language weeks, and highlighting the incredible diversity of language speakers that we have at St. Paul's.



2. Which Friends character is most similar to you?
I am definitely most similar to Monica, in terms of her slightly obsessive cleaning and organizational habits, her practicality, and her tendency to be very energetic about everything.



3. What is your favourite teacher quote? 
"#LionLove" - Mr. Diver, 2020



4. Which teacher do you think has the best sense of style? 
Definitely Mr. Nash from the science department, his suspenders and fun socks are always super memorable and stylish.



5. What is your favourite place to go during lunchtime? 
I usually stay at school, but if I were to go out, Pão de Açúcar would be go-to for sure, because of the wide range of options.



6. Which prefect would you choose to be on your Duke of Edinburgh hiking group and why? 
During a Duke of Edinburgh hiking trip I would love to be our wonderful Sustainability and School Engagement Prefect Olivia Lotufo, because of course, being among nature is like being in her natural habitat, surrounded by trees she can hug, and I feel this outdoorsy characteristic would definitely be very helpful while hiking.
