House Council

The first House Council of the year was held on Friday and the following issues were discussed:

  • Academic Ethos
The boys were pleased with this and everyone felt prep time was a productive period for working. We discussed Commendations and it was agreed that the 3 Form need to work hard to receive more as teachers are more likely to award Commendations to the 3 Form.

It was interesting to hear how late some of the day boys work - boarders (particularly 5 & 6 Form) need to recognise that just because prep finishes at 20.30 it doesn't mean they don't finish their work!

  • International Students
Tin Alisic (International Student CO) told us that the overseas students were happy and our International students were getting involved with the many activities on offer. Hesperus will hold an international night later in the term.

  • Evenings
The 6 Form felt there was a lot on offer and all boarders were happy with evenings. The boys like relaxing and watching films - everyone is tired at the moment. The boys particularly enjoy Friday nights - film and hot dogs.

The 6 Form would like the Gym open on a Monday night

  • The Galley
This is an area to improve. The boys would like another toaster and spread for the toast. They also feel fruit and biscuits would be a good addition.

  • Gun Room
It was agreed that the Gun Room should have an ipod docking system.
