The Fort Street Girls’ High School Magazine PREFECTS’ REPORT 1970 will be a year le- membered for a long time as the Captain Cook Bi-Centen- ary. It is perhaps for tnis reason that the Prefects, Helen and myself have felt that this year has been especially re warding for us. We have felt the spirit of celebration which has enlivened Sydney and we have also been conscious of a link with the past more vividly than in our previous years at School. Our aims have been to foster a spirit of School pride and to en courage participation within the School. Our major project has been to institute a Prefects' Merit Award for classes. Through this system we have tried to create a positive attitude amongst the members of each class. Room inspection, order marks, class service — for ex ample, carrying out the duties of Class Captain and Sports Captain — and recommend ations of good and bad be haviour from the Transport Prefects, have all been taken into account. The total points gained by each class will be calculated and a prize given at Speech Day, to the class with the highest score. By considering positive actions, such as con tinued good behaviour on the buses and trains, as well as negative actions, such as continually travelling to School out of uniform, we hoped to inspire a better attitude amongst the girls and a pride in their activities as a class. During the year the Prefects and Sixth Form have attempted to add an aura of festivity to School activities. We have opened our new foot bridge; we have witnessed the landing of "Captain Cook” ; we have pitted our strength against the Staff on several occasions; on the whole these activities have been enjoyed both by the members of Sixth Form and the Staff who participated and by the spectators. I was extremely honoured to be able to attend, the gathering of School Captains at James Cook High School, on the 29th April, and have the privilege of speaking with His Royal Highness, the Duke of Edinburgh. The Queen, the Duke and Princess Anne each talked with different groups scattered over the lawn adjacent to James Cook High School, groups scattered over the lawn adjacent to James Cook High School. Not only was the occasion most memorable because I was able to speak with a member of the Royal Family, but also it was The Fort Street Girls’ High School Magazine marvellous to have the opportunity would also like to thank Mrs. Jones of meeting School Captains from for brightening our Prefects' Room all over the State, from Griffith with new curtains and a new cover High School to Broken Hill High.
