What does Leadership mean to you?
We're excited to introduce our Prefects for the CLC Class of 2027!
We spoke to them about what inspired them to apply to become Prefects and what it means to take on an important leadership role at CLC.
Hear from Jiya (Senior Prefect), Kelly (VPA Prefect), Dolly (Upper College Prefect), Felicia (Admissions Prefect) Bella (Lower College Prefect), and Reika and Marjona (Guild and Development Prefects) about what leadership means to them.
We were pleased to talk to all of our Prefects and will be sharing more of their thoughts and aspirations in the coming months.
Read on to find out more about their thoughts on the role of Prefect and what they think it takes to make a good leader.

Gigi - Admissions Prefect
"I think leadership means being kind and considerate, but also setting a good example of how people should should act."

"Leadership is about inspiring others and making sure everyone feels part of a team - because in order to lead a team, you need a team! It's important to make sure everyone feels included."

"For me, leadership is being able to listen to other people and being able to take on those ideas and implement change."
