Mr
Cane-Hardy’s response
|
|
Can day boys be
rated individually in house inspections?
|
Rooms
are inspected rather than individuals. It is the day boys’ responsibility to
ensure everyone tidies their own area.
|
|
Can we have desks
in the 3 Form day room?
|
There
isn’t space. I’m conscious that there isn’t a designated area for 3 Form day
boys to work in Hesperus during the day. Perhaps the library would be the
best option?
|
|
Can we have more
pictures in the 3 Form area?
|
There
are lots of pictures and I’d be happy for pupils to bring in their own if
they want more – obviously I’ll need to check these before they go up!
|
|
Can we have some
room perfume to make the 3 Form area smell better?
|
Rather
than perfume let’s focus on getting our basic hygiene sorted! Shower every
day, put dirty clothes in the laundry and use deodorant….
If
this fails I’ll buy some nice scented candles.
|
|
We’d prefer
proper butter rather than margarine in the galley.
|
I’m
sure you would! This is something for the Food Committee (Adam Cook) but I’d
certainly be in favour.
|
|
Can we have more
chocolate digestives and custard creams at break time?
|
I’ll
speak to Gail – not all the houses have biscuits at break.
|
|
Prep sessions
should have an ICT room open and supervised. A lot of prep is set on
computers and there aren’t enough computers in Hesperus.
|
This
is something I’m very conscious of and I’ll speak to Mr Williams. Also
something that should go to the School Council (Finn Slevin & Jake
Evans).
|
|
Can we wear our
own coats in winter?
|
Again,
this is something for the School Council. I think there is an issue with the
No. 2 uniform. When it gets really cold the HM will call ‘arctic order’ and
you can then wear your coats. In the meantime you can wear Pangbourne
waterproofs over your jumpers – this should keep you pretty warm.
|
|
No super minis
for Merits!
|
We
know you hated the (Aldi’s own) super mini chocolates. Gail has got
Celebrations for next week.
|
|
The towel
dispenser in the middle floor bathroom doesn’t work.
|
I’ll
speak to Gail
|
|
Can we have a
hand dryer?
|
This
is something for the School Council.
|
|
Not all the
radiators are working.
|
Please
tell me and Gail which are not working and ask Maintenance to fix.
|
|
Can we have bread
on Saturday?
|
I
thought we are having bread on Saturdays now. There was certainly three loafs
in the Galley on Saturday night.
|
|
More hot
chocolate in the galley
|
Didn’t
we discuss this last time? You get one tub of hot chocolate per week. Is the
coffee better now?
|
|
Can the Music
School be open one more night a week?
|
This
was raised in the School Council last week and I believe Mr Raby said they
could only staff two nights a week (Monday and Thursday). I suggest using
Enrichment time to practice. I do think it would be good to have the Music
School open on Sundays and I’ll speak to him.
|
|
Can we have lemon
curd biscuits?
|
I’ll
speak to Gail – why is there such an obsession with biscuits?
|
|
Can we have a
house hair trimmer?
|
This
is a weird request. I hope you are asking so you can trim hair before a College
Sunday? If not, then I don’t want to know why…..
Either
way the answer is no. Hesperoids need to take responsibility for their
appearance on parade. If hair is too long then boys need to arrange a
(proper) haircut.
|
|
Can we start
Hesperus house runs in the morning?
|
Good
idea. My hamstrings are feeling tight at the moment so perhaps Mr Paynter can
lead this?
Why
don’t we start next Tuesday at 6.45?
|
|
Not all the
radiators are working
|
See
above – we need to know which ones.
|
|
Can Angus Findlay
replace Mr Cane-Hardy as Housemaster?
|
Great
idea – Angus would bring so much to the role. He definitely has better ‘chat’
than me.
