Prefect

__** Prefect **__

Prefect is the title given to students with additional responsibilities at school. Prefects are selected by the headmaster(s). Students who fill this role are expected to act with decorum and be conscientious of the school regulations. Prefects are intended to be akin to staff members in their enforcement of school rules. As a prefect, a student is expected to act with maturity and work to preserve the school building and ensure that pupils conduct themselves in an orderly and appropriate fashion. The two male prefects room together and the two female prefects room together. Prefects receive extra self defense training and can choose code names early.

__**Duties **__

Prefects have several duties that come with their title.


 * Security Shifts **

Prefects take shifts sitting in the school security office. They take phone calls, monitor video terminals, and contact school staff if there is anything to report.


 * Monitor Duties **

Prefects are assigned to monitor their fellow students. This is generally done on patrol during study time and at night. While on patrol, prefects should monitor their set areas faithfully and ensure that other students do not loiter and that no mischief is going on. Prefects can be held responsible for rule-violating behavior that occurs within their set area, so they must ensure that they watch carefully and successfully thwart any misdeeds.


 * Protect School Property **

While patrolling their set areas, prefects must ensure that no damage is done to school property. Preventing this damage is important because damaged school equipment can be highly costly to repair.


 * Report Any Violators **

Prefects must inform school administration of any rule-violations they witness. Commonly, prefects are given a book or referral forms to use for the recording of rule violations. While prefects do not hand down punishments themselves, punishments are commonly dispensed as a result of prefect reports.


 * Act as Student Leaders **

Prefects are intended to be role models to other students. In addition to acting as leaders of the general student body, some prefects receive their opportunity to take a leadership role within the prefect system. If a prefect performs well in their duties, they could be appointed to become head boy or head girl.


 * Attend Meetings **

Prefects attend regular meetings with the head boy and head girl to report how their duties are progressing.
