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. Fourteen Prefects are selected from the Grade 12 year group and have traditionally been nicknamed "College Cops". A second tier of leadership has recently been established and is known as the School Monitors.

Famous quotes containing the words student and/or body:
“The student who secures his coveted leisure and retirement by systematically shirking any labor necessary to man obtains but an ignoble and unprofitable leisure, defrauding himself of the experience which alone can make leisure fruitful.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The elephant, not only the largest but the most intelligent of animals, provides us with an excellent example. It is faithful and tenderly loving to the female of its choice, mating only every third year and then for no more than five days, and so secretly as never to be seen, until, on the sixth day, it appears and goes at once to wash its whole body in the river, unwilling to return to the herd until thus purified. Such good and modest habits are an example to husband and wife.”
—St. Francis De Sales (1567–1622)
