Balvenie’s school prefects must lead by example at all times in their behaviour, the respect they show to others and their school uniform. A prefect’s role is varied and to be awarded a personal school badge is considered to be a real privilege. The school prefects at Balvenie take on many roles and have many responsibilities, such as: Acting as ambassadors in the school and community., encourage fellow learners to participate and are responsible for the sound functioning of the school, promote good discipline by leading by example, be at their designated posts on time,  delivering messages to the classrooms at the correct times; promote good discipline in class and on the school premises and ensure a clean and tidy classroom, promote classroom pride.leading classes and supporting others around the school; helping to set up the hall for assemblies; showing visitors around the school; helping the teachers maintaining discipline during assemblies and break times, helping the teachers during parent evenings.  

Our prefects are taken on leadership camps and are exposed to weekly encouraging and motivational sessions by our Disciplinary Committee members. This is being done by the hand of what we call our Survivor guide on the side. 

The reason Why we have a school prefects at BALVENIE PRIMARY School.

As part of our citizenship education, we believe that children need to experience duties and responsibilities that come with being a member of a community in order to help them prepare to play an active role as responsible citizens of our country. At Balvenie we believe that our prefects have a very important role to play in the day to day organisation of our school and as only those learners who have been elected by both the learners and educators, it is considered to be very prestigious.
