The College Captain, Vice-Captain, and Prefects at Gonzaga, as at most Jesuit schools,
are appointed by the Headmaster; they are not simply elected. Having said that,
appointment follows a consultative vote of the Fifth Year and Staff. The Headmaster
appoints the students he thinks most suitable; almost always these are the people
recommended in the consultative vote.
While they are expected to perform a variety of practical tasks prefects have two
principal roles: they are models to their peers and to the college as a whole of
what a Gonzaga student should be at his best; and they have a particular responsibility
for the care of First year students, introducing them to the culture of the college
and encouraging them in their various endeavors.
