International prefects at Macleans College begin leadership journey for 2026

Posted on October 16, 2025

Twelve new leaders are stepping up to represent Macleans College’s international student community in 2026.

The newly-appointed international prefects began their leadership journey with an engaging training session filled with teamwork, creativity and connection.

The international prefect role offers senior international students the opportunity to take an active leadership position, supporting and guiding their peers from overseas as they settle into life at Macleans College.

The group gathered in the Bentley Pavilion at lunchtime for a session led by the Director of International Students, Ms Tuialii and the International Department Manager, Mrs Rawlings.  Students took part in a series of team-building challenges, including a marble race, a hula hoop activity and a brainstorming session to share ideas for the year ahead.

The afternoon concluded with a shared sushi lunch and plenty of enthusiasm for the year to come.

Congratulations to the following 2026 international prefects:
Santiago Buning-Pfaue (Upham House), Nelson Chen (Upham), Arthur Fang (Batten), Yichen Han (Hillary), Lilly Hao (Snell), Dain Hong (Kupe), Hannes Kirbach (Upham), Ivan Lui (Snell), Scott Srisuwannaket (Kupe), Katiloka Teaupa (Rutherford), Ellen Wu (Batten) and Olivia Yao (Rutherford).
