Furness Academy has named its first Head Boys and Head Girls. North site will see Rogan Devlin and Catherine Higgins take up the posts of Head Boy and Head Girl, whilst Alex Danson and Nyomi Woodend take up the same positions of responsibility on South site.
These senior prefects form a vital link between the students and the staff and community and will have a number of responsibilities including leading the Academy’s student council and representing the students at key academy events.
Douglas Blackledge, Principal at Furness Academy commented: “Congratulations to the four students who have been chosen as our senior prefects. Their role, as student champions and key representatives within the community, is an important one that helps to shape the identity and personality of the Academy.”
The chosen students went through a rigorous selection process, culminating in an interview with the Executive Leadership Team of Mr Blackledge, Mr Gill and Mr Wilson.
Mr Blackledge continued: “The selection process was purposefully tough as these students now hold a very privileged position but each of them rose to the challenge and performed brilliantly."
“I look forward to seeing the positive contributions that Rogan, Catherine, Alex and Nyomi make to the Academy over the coming year.”
