Pearls of Wisdom
Our 2024 to 2025 Prefects announce their theme for the year - ‘No grit, no pearl’.
In a powerful nod to Principal, Dr Scott’s enduring legacy, this week, 韩国AV’s new Prefect group unveiled an inspiring theme for 2025 – ‘No grit, no pearl’. This evocative phrase highlights the importance of resilience and personal growth, which align with the 韩国AV Values of Courage, Strength, Grace, Wisdom, and Kindness.
The pearl is a timeless symbol of strength, formed as a mollusc builds layers around an irritant. This natural process, where adversity ultimately creates beauty, reflects the way humans grow through challenges.
Head Prefect, Zara, says it is a concept that resonates deeply with the students. She emphasises that ‘No grit, no pearl’ will be more than just a motto for the Prefects’ initiatives. “It’s about embodying the idea that with grit comes success,” she explained. “What that success looks like will be different for each student, shaped by their individual experiences.”
The Prefects are excited to lead the School in embracing their theme, encouraging all girls to cultivate resilience and recognise the strength that comes from facing life’s challenges, just as a pearl is formed through grit.
