With over a hundred years of history, the Board of Prefects at Rahula College recalls the past, embellishes the future, and adorns the splendor of the school.
Out of thousands of students, the prestigious crew can be seen as the link between the student body and the management of the school. It also links the school administration, the Old Boys Association, and the Rahula Old Prefects Association (ROPA). The goal of education is to promote all-round maturity. The Board of Prefects at Rahula College leads the way in achieving this goal with all the students in the school.
It is an eternal glory of brilliant personalities echoed through the generations. Throughout the hundred years of history and culture, this leadership position remains the most prestigious dream of Rahulians as the highest position of leadership available to a student. However, it is not a dream that every student holds dearly from the day they understand what mother Rahula is all about. There is much effort behind the scenes. It is a great responsibility and accountability to implement the procedures through active participation of the high standards that are expected from the Rahula community.
