Students of The Illawarra Grammar School are talented in so many areas – just have a look at the TIGS socials to see how amazing and diverse our community is. To be selected as leaders of such an extraordinary student body is an honour and a privilege.
Meet the 2024/25 Prefect team and read about our goals to encourage teamwork, excellence, unity and inclusivity.
HEAD PREFECTS
Saxon Parrish
House: Kogara
I would consider myself an all-rounder learner. I have played many sports and instruments, whilst committing to my school education at the same time. I’ve dabbled in many sports, but my favourite is Hip Hop dance, which I’ve been competing in for the last ten years. Musically, I’ve learnt piano at TIGS for the same length of time, both jazz and classical pieces are my favourite to play. As a prefect, I look forward to the opportunity for team collaboration with both my peers and teachers.
Marci Davis-Cook
House: Wolgal
Since Year 7, TIGS has supported me in academics, sports and performing arts. I’ve loved participating in da Vinci Decathlons, Community Issues Problem Solving and more. Outside of school, I’m a snowboard cross athlete and had a small taste of representing Australia at the Junior World Championships earlier this year, but I am aiming for more. When I’m not on-snow, you’ll find me on the hockey field or in the dance studio. Thank you to TIGS for all of the opportunities over the years, and now the privilege to join the leadership team as we encourage all students to be involved and be their best.
DEPUTY HEAD PREFECTS
Campbell Boardman
House: Coligan
I am privileged to have been selected as your Deputy Head Prefect for 2025. In this role, I am keen to form a more united school community and ensure that every student’s voice is heard. Outside of school, I spend my time playing football for the Fernhill Foxes, as I believe that engaging in education as well as other activities are necessary for a balanced and successful life.
Alyssa Jeffries
House: Coligan
I’m so grateful to be elected Deputy Head Prefect at The Illawarra Grammar School. I’m excited to serve our school community by promoting inclusivity and supporting students to grow in their faith and learning, aiming to elevate TIGS. Outside of school, I enjoy youth advocacy taking part in Model UN, Youth Parliament and the Young Mayor program.
CHAPEL PREFECTS
Claire Spicknall
House: Aranda
As Chapel Prefect, I am excited to support the spiritual life at The Illawarra Grammar School, striving to serve our community with humility and dedication. Through my strong connection with the broader Illawarra community, fostered through eleven years of volunteering as a Surf Life Saver, I continually strive to encompass a spirit of service and compassion that is modelled within God’s word. I am very excited to inspire others to find meaning in their faith, to serve one another, and to contribute positively to our School and beyond.
Jack Caroll
House: Aranda
I’m honoured to be selected as Chapel Prefect, and I look forward to this opportunity to collaborate with Claire and Harrison and serve our school community. Outside of School, I participate in sporting activities, including soccer, oztag and touch footy.
Harrison Deck
House: Wolgal
I am privileged to have been given the wonderful opportunity of being Chapel Prefect for 2025. In this role, I aim to be an ambassador for the Christian faith and be seen as an approachable and servant-hearted leader. During my time at Illawarra Grammar, I have made sure that I make the most of all the exciting cocurricular activities on offer. I look forward to what the rest of my time at School looks like and hope that I can be a role model for younger students.
