My role in the community
Preventing fight outbreaks, leading students into the dining area, making sure that student leave the premises safely and orderly, providing support for all teachers in and around school, these are just some of the responsibilities that prefects at Prestwich Arts College have to take on. And I am one of them.
I was told that if I wanted to take on this role in the school; I should write a letter saying why I should be chosen over other students – so I did. I was told the following week at the morning registration; I was told that I was now required to wear a distinct tie and shirt so that others knew that I was a prefect. Also I was given a badge to wear with pride next to the school logo.
