New Zealand Westlake Girls High School Head Prefect Candese Mamaia-Helleso: As Candese walked through the crowded halls of Westlake Girls, her confident presence was palpable. The red blazer adorned with her many accolades made her stand out, and the badge of Head Prefect seemed to weigh heavy on her shoulders. She was in charge, and the entire student body knew it. Her braided hair cascaded over her shoulders and her hoop earrings glinted in the soft light. The school uniform felt like second skin to her as she made her way to her locker.
