Merits

See the post below

Some important points:

1. The Guard Store and Devitt lawn is off limits after prep.
2. Boarders are expected to remain in Divisions after 7pm on a Sunday night.
3. If you are studying / relaxing during Enrichment time then please remain in Hesperus.
4. Nut products should not be brought into Hesperus - we have a student with a peanut allergy and we must be aware of this.
5. There is Open Morning on Saturday - make sure uniform is perfect and more details to follow later in the week.
6. A reminder to see your Tutor after p. 5 today for a catch up.

Have a great week!

Merits
Well done to the boys who received Merits - see list below - each gets a, well deserved, reward.

Student of the Week

House Scholar, Finn Slevin, awarded the Elvis trophy to Tom Paine. Tom received a merit, 10/10 in his room inspection and has worked incredibly hard to win selection for the Pringle Team. A great start to the term.

Focus for the week

Div. Music - it's great if we do win but the most important thing is to have fun and enjoy getting involved with the rest of the house. Give it 100% and have a great time on Thursday! Good luck.

I often receive comments about how well Hesperoids treat each other and the care they demonstrate towards Hesperus. Please ensure this continues. I've been really pleased with the way we're acting towards each other and the friendships that have developed this year.

However, the house has been a bit untidy - look after the communal areas (Gun Room, Kitchen, Front entrance) and don't expect anyone else to clear up your mess.

Have a great week!

House Council

Hesperus House Council

15^th September 2015

Congratulations to Finn Slevin and Jake Evans on the election to the School Council and Adam Cook on his election to the Food Committee.

Here are the minutes and Mr Cane-Hardy’s responses from Tuesday’s House Council.

3 Form

Comment	Mr Cane-Hardy’s response
Can we have more chairs in the Gun Room?	We already have so much in the Gun Room – computers, pool table, tennis table, TV – I think we are short of space and more chairs would make things worse. We’ve just moved the table football to create more space.
Can we have another sofa in the 3 Form Day room?	Again we are short of space and need room for changing etc.
We need a notice board in the day room.	There is a big notice board which is almost empty in the corridor outside the day room.
Can we have a greater variety of posters? Not just superheroes but some women.	Seriously? The theme is superheroes and I’m ‘really upset’ you don’t like them. However, there are other posters – a giraffe, a car, a Minion. I’m happy for you to bring some posters in but no naked women!!!
Can we have a place to store bags in the day room?	Good idea – I will ask if one can be put in.

4 Form

Can we have a slushi machine?	No.
Can the orange squash be stronger?	I’ll speak to Gail and see what she thinks.
Can we have a slide?	Great idea Sam.

5 Form

Please remove bunk beds	I know they’re not ideal but we need to use bunk beds in smaller rooms where there is not space for a separate bed and desk. I will try to make sure everyone has at least one term in a low bed.
Can we have plastic disposable cups?	I think it is good to practice washing up after we have a drink.
Can there be a sofa on the top floor?	If we get a new sofa for the Gun Room then I’d be happy to move one of the older sofas upstairs.
We need house sweatshirts.	No we don’t.
We need a new carpet downstairs.	I have asked for this and I hope it will happen this year….

Lower 6

Can we have a gym in the house?	No for the following reasons: 1. No space 2. There is a school gym 3. How would we supervise it?
Can we have a house flag?	It would be good but it would be expensive and we don’t have a flag pole!
Can we have a sofa upstairs?	See above
We need better house team names. Why have they been named after the Lord of the Rings?	The Upper Sixth are weird and love Lord of the Rings. Next year you can choose the team names….
Can we have cheese and ham in the galley?	No for the following reasons: 1. I worry that the first people to the fridge would eat it all. 2. It would be expensive and I ran out of money last year! 3. We have cheese and ham toasties every few weeks.

Upper Sixth

Can we have repairs to some of the rooms in the house?	Agreed – I have sent a maintenance list to the Bursar.
We need a new carpet in the Gun Room	See above

It was the first room inspection of the year this morning - here are the boys that achieved 10/10:

Student of the Week

For his academic effort and excellent debut as Band Major - Tom Perring is Hesperus' Student of the Week and receives the Elvis trophy. 

Areas to improve

• Room tidiness
• Punctuality and organisation of files and books before lessons. 

We must also continue to think carefully about the early impressions we make in lessons.

Hesperus Teams

This year the boys have been divided into six house teams within Hesperus. The aim of this is to encourage greater interaction between the Forms. The Upper Sixth were tasked with creating and naming the teams and, rather tragically, each team name has been inspired by Lord of the Rings.
