One make mistake, we all bear the same resposibility, For we are a team

Not long ago, I received news that one of my prefects has been suspended for a month which suprised me. Soon after that, I had a meeting with all the prefects, explaining to prefects what had happen.
During the meeting, the school advice us not to break the school rules,and told the us that if we make mistake, we will get punishment as the ordinary student do.
Some of the prefects were confused, they act as if they were innocent(in fact, they are, because they are not the one that break the school rules), ignoring the warning given by the school. So, I clarified one thing : We are in a team, which means, if anyone of us make a single mistake, all of us have to bear the same responsibilty. If my prefects do not understand this what so called "team spirit", then I am glad to spend my time with them.
I believed that as a team, team members need to care about each other. I believed that this "incident" can be prevented if his/her friends advised him/her not to do so. This is why the Prefects Board introduced "The Guardian Project", aimed to care the Exco and the prefects as well.
Therefore, the next day, I apologised to PK, PKHEM and PKK, not because I am too free until I have nothing to do, but because I know what I have to do , to set an example among prefects, what a team is.
The Prefects Board is not blaming this "person", but would like to use this incident as an oppoturnity to tell everyone: Yes, we suffered, but we grew stronger;We make mistake, but through mistake we learnt. There is one saying , "curiosity is the mother of invention", then I will say, "making mistake is the way to success", if we know how to apply this concept.
Last but not least , the Prefects Board is not giving up that person, we will welcome him/her back next month. Wish you all the best.
