Prefects

The Epping Boys' High School prefect body is the senior student leadership group within the school with the traditional role of serving both the school and broader community.

Each year, the prefect body of 24 members, is elected in Term 3 by the school staff, their peers (fellow Year 11 students) and students in Years 10 and 12. Once elected, they undertake a leadership training camp for three days at the Castle Mountain venue at Wiseman's Ferry. During this time, they establish key goals for their term of office which may include a particular project or activity relevant to their year of service.

At the conclusion of the camp they choose the executive positions of captain, vice-captain and senior prefect and are formally inducted at an assembly attended by representatives of the school community.

The prefect body actively assist the school and community in the following ways:

Act as role models to younger boys in terms of behaviour, decorum and dress.
Monitor and assist in the maintenance of high standards of uniform.
Act as student hosts at official functions, such as Parent/Teacher Nights, orientation days, formal assemblies and other special occasions.
Communicate with students via daily roll call and bus line rosters.
Coordinate school-based appeals and fund raising activities for community organisations.
Assist the Rotary Club of Epping in support of senior citizens (in conjunction with Cheltenham Girls' High School.
