Sarah: no, thats just stupid
and giving extra marks to captains is ridiculous because most captains are chosen out of popularity.

they take on the commitment to be captain....they dont have to do it, and they know how much work they will be taking on
theres no way they can get extra marks cos they are captains! they get other advantages from having that role anyways.

I've heard of girl captains being picked cause theyre hot.
Also, at a local school, the captain only got picked cause all the teachers liked him but the students didnt. It was rigged I tells ya!
I dont go to a school with captains, so I.... yeah.

let me assure that it is certainly not the case in our school. I was voted school captain due to my commitment and passion for my school and community. I had to work my ass off to get school captain. I was a member of School SRC and district SRC and also did State SRC for a year, I was the NSW Police youth liason officer for a year and also worked on a Environmental Resolution and developed a State wide HELP team ( High School Environmental Leaders Program).
I really pisses me off when ppl say that captains were voted in because they are popular, this may certainly be the case in some circumstances but not always true.

Yippie - Usually the organisation and leadership skills of a captain can be easily applied in the class room as well.
In the end, popularity and respect goes hand in hand, and this is derived your achievements which is derived from your personal character. So I guess if you have a great character, you should be able to do good things of which would make you popular.
That's only my opinion, there could be exceptions of course.

They Can
Hey, im not a school captain but my friend is and it's true they can apply for up to 5 added UAI marks because of the amount of work they are required to do around the school which may intrude on their studies. Now whether this is fair or not ... should be determined by whether they have attanded to all their duties and whether it has intruded that much... coz the other issue is - what about all the other prefects which have duties as well? So yeah its not a myth - i was told that they can... but its not as though they're gonna do better than what they would have done had they not been Captain? What do you guys reckon?

At my school we didn't get to pick the captains, only the principal, deputies & captains from last year got to pick someone out of the prefects

at some universities (like macquarie) if you give in your reports.. have taken place in co curricular/leadership activites and show that you can get involved in all aspects of school (or in future uni) life while still doing reasonably well you can get an extra 5 points towards your uai for any course at that specific uni.. but you dont have to be a captain to get it. 4 girls from my school (not all leaders) got it.. but the people who werent leaders did music.. sport etc.
thats also how the principals recommendation scheme at acu works.. but the principal writes it up

its all about what you think you can get
universities are a lot more flexible than you think, but usually the smaller ones like csu, une, southern cross, etc. they have the principals recommendation schemes, and other special entry schemes. they want students, and the uai cutoff isnt the be all and end all, but you have to get in early, and for most of these kind of things, now is too late, for class of '04.
