Meet the Prefects

Silvia Venturelli

What was the most stressful part of the Prefect application process and why? 

Waiting for the announcement of who was chosen for the prefect positions from Thursday through to Monday. 

Why did you want to be a prefect?

Ever since I attended my first senior school assembly, It became a dream of mine. Also, I believe it is a way of giving back to our school community, which has contributed tremendously to our development both academically and per-sonally. 

What was the hardest question they asked you in your interview? 

The hardest question for me was “If you could be a part of a bicycle which would it be and why”. Honestly, when Dr.Hallinan asked me that, I forgot the name of all parts of a bicycle but the wheels. 

What is your favorite TV show? 

Friends <3 

What do you want to study in the future and where? 

My dream is to study economics at Columbia University. 

Place you most want to visit:

Mykonos, Greece. 

What is one thing you want to change in school?

If I could change one thing, it would definitely be to ban having more than one exam from different subjects on the same day. 
​
Any advice for prospective prefects?
​
My advice for prospective prefects is the same as what previous prefects told me. During the prefect application and interview processes, be yourself, be confident and keep calm. Also, during the interview, try to expose your ideas and thoughts in a determined but kind way, always referring back to the school’s code of honor.
