At the high school that i attend, 13 of the senior pupils (grade 12) are placed in leadership positions (prefect/couciler/moniter different schools call them different things). This group, which basically the student body involved in the managment and running of the school, is lead by the "head prefect" (first in command), and "deputy head prefec"t (second in command).

Basically, i'm kind of like the vice president <img src="images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />.

I am always amazed at the subtle cultural diffences within this community, and how interesting it can sometimes be to try and communicate whilst taking these diffences into account.
