The Prefect candidate speeches, which took place during assembly on April 17, are a crucial part of the selection process, offering students a chance to showcase their leadership experiences and, commitment to the principals of Veritas. In this second step of the Prefect application process, candidates are tasked with sharing a personal story of positive leadership impact. These speeches not only serve as a platform for candidates to express their leadership philosophies but also give the student body a glimpse into the potential Prefects' ability to inspire, lead, and contribute to the school community. The voting on May 2 will determine which candidates will have the honour of serving as Prefects, representing their peers in the 2024-25 school year. Congratulations to everyone who put themselves forth for candidacy; you should all be proud of yourselves! - Ms. Torry, Student Life and Leadership Coordinator
