  • Only volunteer for head boy/girl if you think you can fulfill the responsibilities of a head boy/girl. You may have to give speeches in front of the school or give yours to new students.
  • When asking teachers for recommendations, give them examples of past achievements so they can be specific about your positive qualities and accomplishments.

  • Be honest. You never know when they may ask you to prove a statement that you have made in your letter and if it proves false, you have no more chances of proceeding. Thanks Helpful 246 Not Helpful 42
  • If you have any school disciplinary problems, such as having been suspended from school, this will take a negative effect on you becoming head boy/girl at your school. This is because in some cases, the suspension goes on your permanent record, lowering the chances of you achieving the role. A detention or two is fine, but don't get too many or you will have a lower chance of getting the role. Thanks Helpful 62 Not Helpful 8
  • When you are given the responsibility, Do not abuse your power or you may get impeached. Thanks Helpful 41 Not Helpful 7
  • When you are writing your application letter, be sure to make it formal else you will have less chances of been a prefect. Thanks Helpful 37 Not Helpful 7
