The Prefects have been part of Fairmont since its inception in 1977.
They are a group of Matrics who are elected by their peers and staff to serve as the guardians of school traditions and the embodiment of our Core Values of Respect, Integrity, Service and Excellence. They have traditionally been an extension of the discipline arm of the school, upholding the School’s Code of Conduct, but more recently their focus has shifted to brand ambassadors and role models for our school rules and values.
Based on the concept of servant leadership; our prefects serve their school community with humility and integrity, setting an example for all the follow.
