Head girl and head boy

Head boy and head girl are roles of prominent pupillary responsibility. The terms are commonly used in the British education system and in private schools throughout the Commonwealth.

United Kingdom and Ireland

In some British schools, the pupil body (or the headteacher) may elect a head boy and/or a head girl from the pupils. Head boys and head girls are usually responsible for representing the school at events, and therefore must be able to make public speeches. He or she may also be expected to lead fellow prefects in their duties. Deputy head boys and girls may also be appointed, taking on the day-to-day management of the prefects in some institutions, as well as looking after the school and creating a link between teachers and pupils.

Other Commonwealth countries

All schools in Hong Kong, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Singapore, UAE and Malaysia, and many in the Commonwealth Caribbean, as well as South Africa, follow the same system as that in the United Kingdom, having a head girl and head boy or head prefect, a vice-head girl/boy, prefects, house captains, monitors and class representatives. (source?) The head girl and boy assist the teachers and administration of the school. Nigerian and Ghanaian schools follow a similar system although some schools appoint a head prefect or senior prefect and assistant senior prefect.

Truth Rising

by: (Hed) Pe

"Are you ready for the truth?"
Give me the truth, the whole truth, nothing but the truth, so help me
You will never win, never again, my people are ready for anything
No more secrets, no more lies, open your eyes, can you hear me?
Destruction of the corporate corruption, feel my aggression now
The time has come, we are the ones, we bring the pain
Nothing will ever be the same, it's judgement day and it's time to pay
We lead the way, we forward go, you can't stop the four
You can't stop us now, it's the love you show
The family grows, you reap what you sow
Truth is rising
Give me the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth
This fire will burn everything in sight,
stand up and fight for your rights
