Meet Deputy Head Prefect Saem Millward:
"My full name is Saem Michael Millward and I was born in Palmy. I'm half Korean from my mother's side and half Kiwi from my dad's. My name is spelt as Saem due to it being translated from Korean, meaning spring or fountain.
I have a huge passion for physical exercise and absolutely love weightlifting and going to the gym. I also enjoy singing and playing piano in my spare time, and love being on stage in any form.
This year I really hope to increase student participation in performing arts events such as the prefect assembly performances and club choral participation. In terms of broader goals, I want to help keep this cohort of prefects to account, and not let each other slack as the year progresses, as naturally they do.
I’m really looking forward to working more closely with senior management and having conversations regarding the well being of our junior students specifically, in order to raise the bar for the senior cohorts to come."
Meet Deputy Head Prefect Jack Trotter:
"My name is Jack Trotter, and I am the 2024 Deputy Head Prefect alongside Saem Millward, and the Head Boy of College House.
I come from a farming background just out of Marton, where my parents run a sheep and beef farm. Due to this background, I love getting outdoors and playing sports such as rugby, cricket, hunting, water sports, snowboarding, and the gym. I am also part of the accelerate program at school, which means I have achieved level 3 last year, so this year I have got a little more time that I can use to try and have an influence on the school this year in things such as the Shand Shield.
One of my goals this year is to influence the school, in particular the day boy clubs, to have a greater involvement in the Shand Shield competition to keep the club rivalry tight, and competitive. Also, much like Saem, as I assist him in this job, I also want to keep this cohort of prefects to account and ensure that the prefect duties are upheld.
This year I am really looking forward to working closely with the boys at College House, in particular the Year 9’s, in the marching and Niger House events, which are huge at the hostel. I am also looking forward to working with the senior management team to share ideas to further improve the school to benefit the students for years to come."
