Student Body
Queen's College boasts a diverse student body, having made the transition from segregated schooling as early as 1992.
The college is headed by their recently appointed Headmaster, Mr. Brendan Grant, who hails as the former deputy headmaster of Graeme College in Grahamstown. Forming an important liaison between Staff and Student Body is the Prefect Body, a democratically appointed group of students who help maintain order and discipline in the school.

Revives, reflourishes, then vigorous most
When most unactive deem’d,
And though her body die, her fame survives,
A secular bird ages of lives.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
