An air of dignity should be maintained in the Hall at all times. No

Prefects
Prefects are leaders of students. They are acting under the Headmaster’s
instructions and with his authority to keep the order in the School.
Prefects have the authority to punish offenders by an initial imposition
of not more than 100 lines. They are required to report more serious
offences to the Headmaster. The Headmaster will not excuse any boy
who disregards a proper order from a prefect or speaks insolently to him
or in any way obstructs him in carrying out his duties. Appeals against
punishment given by a prefect can be made through the discipline
teachers if valid reasons exist. However, no complaint will be entertained
if the boy concerned has not treated the prefect with proper respect.
