Prefects

This year we have 19 prefects working very hard to support the daily life here at SSMJ

At St Michael and St Johns RC Primary School we believe that prefects have a very important role to play in the day to day organisation of our school and as only Year Six pupils are allowed to apply for this position, it is considered to be very prestigious. Prefects are, in a sense, junior members of staff and are expected to take their role seriously.

The position not only allows the Year Six pupils to lead by example and demonstrate their responsibility, it also enables the younger children to learn from a good example.

Every prefect has to apply for the job and their applications go through a selection process.

Key Responsibilities:

TO LEARN, LOVE AND RESPECT ONE ANOTHER TO BE THE BEST WE CAN BE.
To be a role model for other students, including punctuality, attendance and behaviour
To wear the school uniform correctly and with pride
To behave in an exemplary manner
To demonstrate good work habits in all aspects of school life
To be competent in self-management and have good personal organisation skills
To be punctual and well-prepared for their responsibilities
To be aware of the needs of fellow students and be aware of school expectations with behaviour
To be aware of situations which may affect student welfare
To take the initiative when staff are not present
To be a good role model for others in the school by manner, dress, overall appearance and attitude to others
To promote the correct values and standards of behaviours
To help meet the needs of others by giving care and assistance to the pupils in the school
To assist with the dining room routines and some break routines
To assist with the monitoring of the behaviour of children around school
