Angus Loe: Sports prefect

Angus is involved in many sports with his favourite being rowing and hockey. He came to McGlashan from Weston Primary School near Oamaru; he has spent the previous 5 in the hostel where he is a clan leader.

Angus has been blessed with opportunities through sport at the college and is determined to make sure that all other boys get the same opportunities and joy from participating in sports as he has.

His message to the student body would be to ‘take advantage of the great opportunity provided as the school quote says "to whom much is given much will be expected".

Emilio is deeply entrenched in the school's music scene.

Emilio is eager to use his experiences to try help promote the arts and humanities through the college.

He truly believes everyone can and should make the most of their time at the college.

He lives on a 40-acre lifestyle block in Blueskin Bay, just north of Dunedin, but also lived in Australia for five years, during his preschool and much of my primary school.

Finn Anderson: Academic Prefect

Finn is from Dunedin and has been at JMC since Year 7. He likes basketball and rugby, but DEFINITELY not cricket. He is one of this year's academic and leadership prefects.
