Head Girl: Nikita Nolan Deputy Head Girl: Leah Ellis

This team is supported by our
6th Year Prefects
Prefects are appointed from our sixth year student group. Their appointment follows a written application and interview by the Chairperson of the Board Management, a school representative and one of our business partners. An appointment to this leadership position in our school is a reflection of how the students have embraced the core values of courtesy, respect and responsibility and the leadership potential displayed during their junior years. Prefects are ambassadors for St. Dominic’s and excellent role models for other students. These prefects have the special responsibility to support our second year students in partnership with their Year Head and tutors.
Along with the Mentors, they have had the opportunity to attend Leadership Training to encourage them to develop further their sense of responsibility and communication skills.
The 6th Year prefect team for 2017-2018 are Alicia Butterly, Danyt Teib, Ava Duffy, Holly Monaghan and Niamh Lennon.
