Ridley Prefects Announced!

Headmaster Jonathan Leigh has announced the prefects for next year. Now you might be asking what is a prefect and why should I care that they are being announced. Well if you go to Ridley College or went to Ridley College you will know that besides the fact that prefects get to wear sweet white blazers with orange piping there is a lot more to it and it is a great honour to be appointed as one. Students go through a lengthy process to become a prefect, first they go through house elections, after that the faculty votes and then it comes down to interviews with the headmaster and the final decision. Now back to the original question- what is a prefect? Prefects are senior students who are considered to be the school's strongest leaders, they are committed to Ridley and uphold all its traditions and ideals. The prefect group influences the atmosphere, tone and spirit of the school. Prefects are involved in and organize many school events. Congratulations to the 2010-2011 prefects!

The 103rd Annual Ridley Cadet Inspection was held over the weekend. Thankfully the weather was ideal, not too hot and not too cold for the cadets (as we know from past years if it's too hot cadets start dropping like flies). The Inspecting Officer was Vice Admiral Charles Style CBE and he was joined by George C. Hendrie '74, Chairman of the Board.
