Just to add to this for the sake of completeness.

We also had a House system, and each House had an elected House President, who 
was, again, nearly always a Prefect, but didn't have to be (I'll tell you - all these different 
positions, as well as some sporting awards/debating awards/music awards, etc were 
indicated by embroidery on our blazer pockets - somebody who was House Captain, 
and a Prefect, and Captain of a sporting team, etc, etc, could have a pocket that 
weighed well over a pound from all the embroidery!). I never got it entirely clear what the 
House Presidents did - I spent most of my time hiding from mine - but it added another 
layer to the whole thing).
