Hesperus

House Council

18/10/2012

What you are happy with?

·        Decoration and Art in Gun Room and around the House (SCH: If anyone has any suggestions for pictures of art then please let me know)

·        Mirrors in corridors

·        The Bathrooms are more hygienic and cleaner this year (SCH: Make sure you thank Jack for his work)

·        Atmosphere in the House  (SCH: This is excellent, the atmosphere of a house is by far the most important thing. We must recognise the excellent leadership if Jonnie, Will, Tom and Bryn in establishing this)

·        Everyone is getting on well

How can Hesperus improve?

·        More pictures of the Hesperus Ship (SCH: I’ll try and find some – can someone paint it for Art?)

·        Use students art work in House (SCH: Excellent idea – let me have your art work!)

·        Blender in the Galley (SCH: Yes – but it must be cleaned)

·        More Milk (SCH: Gail will get an extra 2 pints. If certain students need more then they can but their own and store it in my fridge)

·        More Bread in Galley & Variety of food (SCH: Now Galley is locked until break there should be more bread. I’ll look at getting more food but it will probably be fruit only. Nothing unhealthy!)

·        Vending Machine (SCH: Has been tried before and didn’t work. We don’t need one)

·        More Computers (SCH: I agree. I also don’t like them in the Gun Room as this should be a social space not a workspace. However, at the moment we don’t have the space for any more computers. The 6^th form will be able to use computers in the 6^th Form Centre after ½ term.)

·        Sky TV (SCH: I would like Sky but there is issue with licence)

·        Toastie Maker (SCH: Do we need one? I would rather a blender than toastie maker. However, I will look out for a good deal)

·        Mirrors in Rooms (SCH: Good idea – I will speak to the Bursar)

·        Fix cupboard door magnets (SCH: I will email work department)

·        Shower doors instead of curtains (SCH: Is this a major issue?)

·        Shower temperature control (SCH: I’ll email works dept)

·        Better buttons in showers – they don’t stay on long enough (SCH: I’ll email works dept)

 

·        Light bulbs aren’t bright enough in cabins (SCH: A lamp would improve this)

·        Locker not big enough in 3^rd form day room (SCH: Not sure what we can do about this as there is little space for more)

·        2 lights not working in 3^rd form dormitory (SCH: I’ll email works dept)

·        Shoe storage space for 3^rd form (I’ll email works dept)

How can we make Hesperus the best Division at Pangbourne?

·        SCH: Can you let me know suggestions after half-term

·        2 ideas: Poker night / Flag and posters with Hesperus Elk
