Student Leadership is an integral part of the college that gives the students the opportunity to lead and explore their leadership skills.
The body of student leadership comprises of;
THE PREFECTS
The appointment to the position of prefect is an honour bestowed on a student by the School. The term ‘Prefect’ comes from the Latin Praefectus meaning ‘the one who stands in front’. In Day Waterman College, a prefect is a student who has been given a responsibility within the school and in this role have a number of duties they must perform. These are in three main areas.
The Students Representative Council (SRC) is a group of student leaders in all forms representing the interest of their class mates.

The SRC is broken down into;
The whole group is further divided into the following working and brainstorming sets;

These are students who have shown excellent leadership skills during their stay in the boarding house. The Student Mentors are selected by the House team to carry out their responsibilities in the Hostel.
Two Mentors who are Year 9s’ are appointed by each boarding house.
Student Librarians are also part of the student leadership of the school. These set of leaders are screened and interviewed before they are selected by the staff of the library.
