Prefects 2oo6!! (3 Viewers)

[panda-bum]

I can`t seem to find a thread like this so I thought that I`d start one for the Prefects of `06 from all different schools to get to know each other.

What are people doing for their afternoon tea get-togethers? What activities? What other things are they organising for school?

 

[[trent]]

afternoon tea get togethers?!? that sounds all very quaint....we've just been helping out school events (assemblies, canteen, whatnot) and are hoping to organise a prefects 'fun-day' for the school sometime next term...

we really don't have that much power at out school

What exactly are prefects?

We have the Student Rep Council at my school, if they're the same sorta thing.

 

[pLuvia]

Similar to captains, our prefects are assigned to different year groups and help them with things that relate to that year group

Our school doesn't have prefects, and if we did, they'd probably be more likely to play cricket or stick their hands up cows than organise afternoon tea get togethers...

every friday morning 3 prefects run a full school assembly.

Our prefects are carefully chosen, with a thorough voting system consisting of the teachers/staff votes and the student votes in our year, then they pick the top 15 + the captain and vice captain. If you were wondering, I'm not one of those 15 prefects.

We have a shitload of power...but only for year 12 not the school. We decide everything for our year group...like little mummies actually (all-girl school)

same thing here at my old school, except other criteria apply as well, and even these qualities has a priority standing. e.g. if u got a promotion in corps, ur more likely to be a prefect. same if u did yr 10 monitorship. other criteria includes teacher recommendations, sporting, extra-cirricular, and academics.

ironically, the last two qualities has the least influence.

meh, this whole prefect system is ridiculous anyway. its more a popularity vote rather than judging you by ur management of internal school matters or leadership qualities.

Bahahaha my school offers a blazer...no pockets thing, or whatever.
Thats the only thing the prefeccts get, and a badge that says "Executive"
Lame, they have next to no power really...sad because they're a really good bunch of kiddies.

I totally agree, even the teachers have their favourites... like at our school, we all knew who the captain would be for sure, he was "the one", hehehe.

 

[timobr0]

yeah we knew who would be the 2 captains since about year 8.....the 2 vice captains were sort of a surprise...

Our captain is academically lazy. He's just dropped from 2U Maths to General, and never really works that hard at school. He was just the most popular with the students and the teachers.

to an extent thats pretty true. our school captain is perfect for the job( no idea why he is even in our school) but one the vice captains on the other hand doesn't really have the qualities of a leader IMO. nice guy though lol.

 

[karoooh]

Our year picked out 11 or so SRC members (though, my principal seems to love refering to them as prefects now) and then all 11 decided to have a go for captain and vice. Teachers and students voted for captain and vice, but like others have said, we all knew who was going to get it... However, the prefects line up was a surprise - We all actually voted for people who we thought were deserving... No real popularity vote.

Sucks to be the ones who have been prefects for the last few years, only to get shafted this year!

 

[Sandez]

Meh, I just go around at lunch telling kids to tuck their shirts in.

 

[comrade3000]

prefects at my school are egotistical bastards who just sucked up to the teachers and head of year whenever they were around. too bad they weren't perceived as how the students saw them- amoral idiots who don't practice what they preach. they never seem to have to learnt the hard way and one day they will be uncovered for the frauds they truly are. what are your thoughts of the prefects at your school?

to all those prefects out there, can you honestly say that you would have become a prefect if you did not receive a badge or blazer pocket?

Despite this question making no sense i am going to say yes because i have to defend prefect pride.

Our prefect body takes a community based approach where our major role is to promote the school within the community. We do things like volunteer at the local retirement village, have liaisons with primary schools and we run BBQ's, mufti days and walkathons to raise money for charity. We also volunteer for things like red cross collection, bandana day and legacy.
