The students have different roles at the schools. The younger children begin as students without any real responsibility. As they advance in the school they are given moter responsibility. The older children as prefects assume some resoponsibility for running the school and looking outg for the younger children. There are also other roles such as helping with the library or tuck store. Many children also represent the school in games or other inter-school competions. Some children, often but not always the prefects, help esport visiors aroind the schools. Schools vary as to taks assigned. At one school taking care of an elderly retired master's dogs was a coveted respinsibility. Some children m,ay serve as monitors in the classroom if the master is temporarily called away.
