Prefect System
Like most schools following the UK system, Vasant Valley School has a Prefect System. Prefects are chosen by the teachers in Class 5, which is the final year of Junior School, and Class 12, which is the final year of school as a whole. In the Junior School, the most basic prefects are chosen, i.e. Head Boy, Head Girl, Sports Captain, Vice-Sports Captain, and the Captains of the houses (Red, Blue, Yellow, Green).
In the Senior School there are more than 20 prefect posts. These include Head Boy, Head Girl, Sports Captain, Vice-Sports Captain, the four House Captains as well as four House Prefects (considered Vice-Captains). Additionally, there is the editor of the school newsletter and the heads of the various councils (Arts Council, Students Council, Essentials Council, Academic Council etc.) who also hold powers of prefects.

Famous quotes containing the words prefect and/or system:

—Jean Dubuffet (1901–1985)
“Delight at having understood a very abstract and obscure system leads most people to believe in the truth of what it demonstrates.”
