Meet our Head Girl Team
Each year the students and staff elect a Head Girl and prefect team. The Head Girl Team includes the Head Girl, two Deputy Head Girls and a team of Prefects. These students play an integral role in the running of the school working with younger students as well as organising and supporting school events. The Head Girl Team represents the school at both in school and out of school events. They are excellent ambassadors for the school.
Our Head Girl Team gives perspective on life at The Ladies’ College:
"I am honoured to be this year’s Head Girl at The Ladies’ College, and I am lucky to follow in the footsteps of some incredible women who have held the role before me. I hope that the Head Girl Team can be the role models we have looked up to for so many years, inspiring the younger students to grasp every opportunity available to them.
What makes The Ladies’ College so unique is the strong focus placed on providing opportunities for its students, both inside and outside of the classroom. Throughout my time at the school, I have been fortunate enough to take part in many of the opportunities that The Ladies’ College has to offer, including The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, school choirs, and whole school productions. These opportunities have allowed me to develop skills beyond the classroom, which I can now appreciate will be beneficial for the skills needed for life after College. This year, I am hoping to further support these activities, as well as the pursuit of varied career paths that, are not only academic but inclusive of the arts and sports. Living on such a small island, these careers are often overlooked due to the limited opportunities available, so I am looking forward to raising awareness of these areas.
Another aim of the Head Girl Team is to promote equality and inclusiveness throughout the school so that everyone feels respected and heard. In an all-girls' school, it is extremely important to have a supportive and kind environment where everyone feels valued and confident to speak up about the topics that they feel passionately about. Alongside the new ‘Voice’ senior prefect team, we are looking forward to empowering young women’s voices across the island!"

"I have been a student at The Ladies’ College since the age of 2, and I can honestly say that it has made me the person I am today, from making lifelong friends to discovering the things I am truly passionate about. I have always looked up to the Head Girl teams before me, so it is now an honour to be given the role of Deputy Head Girl.
My goal is for the girls at The Ladies’ College to be brave and confident enough to pursue whatever subjects they desire. After starting my A-levels, I learnt that fewer girls take STEM subjects in comparison to boys. I want future students at The Ladies' College to believe in themselves and know they can achieve whatever they set their minds to.
School is often perceived as a place solely for education, and while this is the main purpose, I believe it is also a place to discover yourself and learn skills beyond the classroom. I encourage all students to take every opportunity that presents itself as a chance to discover their passions and meet new people they will soon find out they can’t imagine their lives without. My time at The Ladies’ College has flown by, and it’s hard to believe that I am in my final year, as College has been such a constant in my life.
I look forward to the year ahead and hope to encourage girls to take opportunities outside their comfort zone. I also hope to be a role model for the younger students, just as the previous Head Girl teams were for me."

"When I joined The Ladies’ College in Remove, I remember reading the list of the past Head Girls on the plaques in the assembly hall instead of listening to what was going on. I always felt as though I wanted to make my mark and have an impact on such an incredible, supportive community as The Ladies’ College. Seven short years later, it fills me with immense pride and joy to have been elected by my peers and teachers to be Deputy Head Girl.
Having fun at school is essential to me, and I value and cherish all the great memories I have created with my friends. This year, I will strive to further create an environment where each girl, regardless of their interests, looks forward to school and views it as a place where not only academic excellence can be achieved but where they can also step outside their comfort zones- whether in lunchtime clubs like debating or netball, or in house events such as gymnastics and house drama. By the end of this year, I hope to continue to develop our unique community, where self-worth is measured by more than just exam results but also by the kindness and integrity each girl displays.
If I could share any advice to students, it would be to encourage them to take advantage of every opportunity they are given. Throughout the years at College, students will receive a multitude of opportunities, ranging from sports clubs to science clubs, from the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award to school camping trips. It is by grasping these opportunities that our voices and characters truly develop.
I am grateful to have been given the opportunity to represent our College and the voices of my classmates in my final year, and to continue the legacy of the role models who came before me."
