In some British schools the student body (or the headteacher) appoints or elects a pupil or pupils as Head Boys and/or Head Girl. Head Boys/Girls are usually responsible for representing the school at events, and therefore must be good public speakers. They may also be expected to lead fellow Prefects in their duties. Deputy Head Boys/Girls may also be appointed. The traditional formal title for the Head Boy in most public schools in the UK is Head of School. Heads of School have considerable power and are often largely responsible for maintaining school discipline outside of classes, acting as eyes and for staff in their absence when i was at school, which was not so long ago, i was a prefect :-D i don't know why i'm answering this question at this time though, it's nearly 4am and i'm still awake :-/
