sessions. Previous workshops have included origami, Bhangra dancing, magic, yoga and pizza making, amongst many more. Prefects and staff supervise individual workshops, whilst Senior Prefects oversee the smooth running of the event as a whole. Senior Prefects also decorate the quadrangle and piazza areas with flags and bunting to add to the festival atmosphere. School officers and prefects Each year, Aston has a School Captain, a School Vice-Captain (or two/three Vice Captains) and a team of Senior Prefects who together help to run the school with the guidance of staff. The School Captain and Vice Captains are known as the School Officers. Every other student in Year 13 is a prefect, and approximately 20 are Senior Prefects. Each Senior Prefect leads a group of prefects in a variety of different tasks across the school including prefect duties and helping to organise events such as The Festival Of Cultures. Four House Captains are also appointed at the beginning of each year. 2018-2019 was the only academic year in which was no School Captain; instead, two Vice-Captains were elected. Research in the school's Archive Centre has so far found the names of 100 holders of the post, stretching back to 1910. The Record The Record is the school magazine. It is published annually and highlights key events of the school year. Volume II can be traced back to 1910. Old Edwardians See also :Category:People educated at King Edward VI Aston School.
