Say Hello to our Head Students & Senior Prefects Team of 2026-2027!

Following a highly competitive selection process, we are proud to introduce our Head Students and Senior Prefects Team for the 2026- 2027 academic year. With nearly 70 applications submitted for just 28 senior leadership positions, the process reflected not only the depth of talent within our student body, but also the commitment, initiative and passion students have for contributing to the wider school community.

The newly appointed prefects had a short handover period with our Year 13 students and have now stepped confidently into their roles, beginning to lead their respective teams. Together, they represent a diverse range of interests, strengths and ambitions, united by a shared commitment to service, leadership and student voice.

Leading the team as Head Students are Illyas, Robbie, Avni and Yasmin who will work closely with staff and students to support and strengthen the wider school community.

This year’s Wellbeing prefects, led by Hailey and Ananya are focused on encouraging open conversations around wellbeing and ensuring students feel confident accessing support when needed. Across the school, they hope to strengthen awareness of the many opportunities available for students and staff to prioritise wellbeing and connection.

Our Maths and Computing Senior Prefects, Wanhe and Sachdev aim to inspire curiosity and problem-solving through events and initiatives that extend beyond the classroom. With plans including the Kuala Lumpur Senior Maths Challenge (KLSMC), the team hopes to foster a culture where students of all ages can engage with mathematics, coding and computational thinking in exciting and meaningful ways.

Meanwhile, our Learning and Innovation Senior Prefects, Yvaine and Chantal are committed to supporting students through important academic transitions, particularly as Year 11 and Year 12 students begin their senior studies. Working closely with the Learning Director, the team plans to introduce initiatives that build confidence, resilience and a lasting love of learning.

Creativity and communication remain central to the vision of the English and Media prefects, led by Caitlin and Keira who are bringing forward projects such as KLASS Studios alongside engaging World Book Day activities, competitions and student-led storytelling opportunities designed to celebrate expression in all its forms.

The PE and Sport Senior Prefects, Mattias and Shayna continue to champion inclusive, competitive and enjoyable sport across the school community. From supporting fixtures and clubs to encouraging wider participation, the team hopes to ensure every student feels empowered to get involved and represent the school with pride.

Equally, the Science and Design Technology Senior Prefects, Saaransh and Dheeraj are looking to build curiosity, innovation and hands-on engagement through collaborative projects, fresh initiatives and opportunities that celebrate both subjects equally. Their goal is to create an environment where experimentation, creativity and problem-solving can thrive.

The Culture and Ethos prefects, represented by Seraphina and Manal aim to strengthen inclusivity and celebrate the diverse cultures represented across the Alice Smith community, while Community Senior Prefects Caitlyn and Yihan hope to widen students’ worldviews through discussion, service and events that encourage meaningful connection.

Within the arts, the Creative and Expressive Arts prefects, led by Hannah and Chloe are committed to ensuring creativity remains at the heart of school life. Through events such as CEArts Week, concerts, exhibitions and seasonal celebrations, the team hopes to inspire students to participate, create and express themselves confidently.

On the other hand, the Humanities Senior Prefects, Isabella and Ethan, are equally focused on bringing learning beyond the classroom through essay competitions, Humanities Week, subject spotlights and collaborative events that encourage students to think critically and engage with global issues. Alongside them, House Senior Prefects Amanda and Jamie aim to strengthen school spirit by creating opportunities for healthy competition and greater collaboration between prefect teams.

Finally, the Languages Senior Prefects, Clem and Miki are passionate about celebrating multilingualism across the school community and encouraging pride in the rich diversity of languages spoken at Alice Smith. Through their initiatives, they hope to inspire students to embrace language learning and cultural exchange.

More than anything, this new team reflects the importance of student leadership at Alice Smith School - creating opportunities for students to lead with purpose, contribute to the wider community and shape school life in meaningful ways. Through collaboration, initiative and service, our prefects play a vital role in strengthening the sense of connection, inclusivity and belonging across the school. Student leadership is not only about organising events or representing a subject area; it is about developing confidence, responsibility and the ability to inspire others. Whether supporting wellbeing initiatives, championing creativity, encouraging participation or giving students a stronger voice, each prefect team contributes to building a community where every student feels seen, supported and empowered.

As they begin their journey as student leaders, we look forward to seeing the ideas, energy and passion this new team will bring over the coming year as well as the lasting impact they will have on both their peers and the wider school community.
