My name is Bonnie, and I am a proud Learning Prefect this year at Riverside High School. I can honestly say that I love my role as Prefect because it focuses on both the arts and academic subjects, which I would say are my specialties. Much like the rest of the Prefect Board, I cannot wait to experience all the fun, interesting, and sometimes challenging activities and events coming up throughout the year.

I am already seeing the progress and positive changes around school, thanks to our amazing board of creative leaders. This makes me confident that no matter what 2025 has in store for us, we will conquer it all with Growth Mindsets.

Outside of school, I am often occupied with my part-time job. However, in my free time, my many hobbies, including painting, sewing, baking, running, and netball, keep me busy.

My goal this year is to take on every opportunity that comes my way because you never know when something brilliant can come from simply saying “yes”. While demonstrating this myself, I am determined to encourage each and every student to get out there and try new things. If I can persuade even just a few more students to seize the moment, countless possibilities could open up, leading to a brighter experience at school.

Alongside my fellow Learning Prefects, I am certain that we will graduate from Riverside High School with nothing but happy memories and proud achievements, knowing that we truly made a positive impact on both the students and the school environment.

My name is Angus, and I am a member of the Learning Portfolio for 2025.

I’ve always aspired to become a Prefect, and now that I am here, I am happy to take on any role I can. I look forward to being part of everything our Prefect Board does for our school and community throughout the rest of the year. If I could make a positive change at our school, it would be to continue to create welcoming and inclusive environment where no one feels left out.

I’m someone who loves to make people happy, I never want to see them disappointed. This has always been one of my personal goals.

In the Learning Portfolio, we focus on fun activities and events that foster the academic and artistic talents of students at our school. This is something I am particularly passionate about because, outside of school, I love to act and have been involved with local theatre groups since I was in Grade One. In 2025, I was a part of Encore’s Billy Elliot production which improved my teamwork skills and gave me experience in working in major productions. I also enjoy computer gaming in my downtime.

Hi, I am Charlie and I am a Learning (Academic & Arts) Prefect. For me, leadership isn’t about a title or recognition, it’s about showing up with intention. It’s about listening and leading with empathy. I believe the best leaders aren’t always the loudest in the room; sometimes, they’re the ones making sure others feel seen and confident enough to step forward. Being a Prefect gives me the opportunity to do that on a bigger scale, to help students feel inspired and included, no matter their year level or interests.

Outside of school, I spend my time playing netball and basketball, and I love Art and STEM. Although I’m not too great, I really like Music. All these things make me super passionate about my role in the learning and arts team.

Over the years, I’ve thrown myself into all sorts of opportunities. I believe that every role, no matter how big or small, is a chance to show effort and make an impact.

What drives me most is the hope that I can be for someone else what past leaders were for me, a friendly face in the crowd. If I can help just one student feel more confident or excited about school, then I know I’ve done my job.

My goal is simple: to be someone who brings energy, empathy, and encouragement into every room.
