Prefects and Representative councils of Learners (RCLs)
To promote responsibility and involvement amongst learners in schools, all high schools must hold elections for RCLs. RCLs offer a useful opportunity for young people to learn about leadership and to understand the relationship between responsibility and authority.
RCLs are made up of one elected representative per class. The RCL must elect two members to represent learners on the SGB.
