   I'm the Perfect Prefect
Prefect just looks like perfect but with the 'r' in a different place. I personally think it's intentional.

However, I must say I have put in my application to be a 7th form (Year 13) prefect at my school. What does a prefect do you ask?

I don't know.

:P Yes I seem rather silly applying for a year long commitment for school which I know little about. What I have heard about is this in nicely bulleted points:

-You wear a badge with the label "Prefect" on it
-You are a 'leader' of the school : /
-You sometimes go with the Deputy Principal to take detentionees around the school to pick up rubbish
-You help organize some school stuff like the 40 hour Famine

Yet somehow I believe it may involve more than this. The selection process is pretty tough though, apparently 134 people applied and 50 will be selected by a board of teachers then each person in the school can vote for up to 10 of those candidates of which only 30 are chosen.

Since there were so many people they decided to be harsh and you wouldn't be selected for having more than 2 detentions in a term (I have zero since I came to the school 3 yrs ago) or too many absences (zero for me this year, I might take the day off tomorrow, so tired :P).

How exciting.. school's out for me on Friday.. so sleepy, I really might take tomorrow off.

Oh well, I'm not worried about getting chosen since it'll look good on my CV in the future plus I was a bit of an ass in my application with comments like "I have orthodontically perfect teeth.. " in response to questions like "What are your strengths?"

^__^ I'm so silly.

Do schools in other countries have prefects?
