Muster 10/05/2016

Hesperus Muster

Drama Awards
  • Half Colours were awarded to Louis Winter.
  • Full Colours awarded to Will Owen, Sam Holloway, Bertie Pugh and Angus Findlay
Notices
  • 'Music for a Summers Evening' takes place on Friday night and I hope there will be a good number of boys supporting the Hesperoids involved. We have lots of talented musicians and it's important we support them.
  • The Hesperus Div. Photo is taking place at 2.45 on Thursday afternoon. Please have no. 1 uniform in school.
  • After some poor use of the pool table I have taken the balls away until further notice (you'll get them back this week).
Merits
Hesperus had a good week and the list of pupils can be found on the post below.

Flag Awards
Well done to Tom Perring, Nick Riley and Jake Evans who received recognition for their industry and initiative.

Student of the Week
Nick Riley was mentioned in dispatches but the Elvis Award was presented to Ed Nash. Ed received 7 Merits (!) last week and continues to be a great member of the Hesperus community.

Preparing for Exams
With exams approaching in the next week, Mr Cane-Hardy spoke to the boys about the things we can be doing to maximise our potential. The link below demonstrates the types of food and drink that help aid revision and  exam performance. I hope the boys take this on board!

House Council 26/04/2016


Hesperus House Council

26 April 2016

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

3 Form

Comment
Mr Cane-Hardy’s response
 
More shelves in the big dorm
I’ll ask maintenance to have a look – as I’ve said previously there isn’t much wall space for more shelves. However, I want to help with your organisation.
 
No doughnuts
I understand doughnuts are the least popular snack – Adam Cook should take this to the Food Committee next week.
 
WiFi on before 7.30am
This is something Finn Slevin and Jake Evans can take to the School Council.
 

 4 Form

The downstairs shower is broken
I’ve asked maintenance to fix it – sorry.
Can we have a new juice machine?  
The existing one has been fixed so we don’t need one yet. Clearly our machine is on its last legs so we will need one soon.
 
Can we have the flags back in the downstairs corridor?
Now the corridor has been painted I think it looks much better without the flags. I also think your next Housemaster L should be able to decide how to decorate the corridor.
 

 5 Form

Can we have a new scrubbing brush in the Galley?
This we can do! I’ll ask Gail to arrange this. I’m delighted you take washing up so seriously.
 
WiFi to come on at 6.30am
See above
 
Different flavours of squash
 
 
I’ll speak to Gail but I don’t see why not.
 
There aren’t enough chairs in rooms.
I’ll look into this – there should be enough for everyone.
 

 Lower 6

Wifi to come on earlier
See above – clearly you have been discussing WiFi times!
 
Can we have a Hesperus flag?
Probably not – I seem to have answered this question about 500 times. Your new Housemaster might be more generous!
 
Can we have a say in the new Housemaster?
I think there will be a student panel but Mrs Bond will be able to confirm this.
 

 Upper Sixth

New drinks machine
See above
Can we have the piano back from Harbinger?
 Yes – I keep forgetting to get it. Keep reminding me.
 
Hesperus needs a Lord of the Rings box set
No we don’t! It’s always on Sky anyway and you are always watching it.
 
Can we buy a karaoke machine?
Good idea – I’ll look into it.
 
Can we outlaw Tommy Hessian’s hair?
I am happy to support this. However, his hair is looking quite good and it is really well conditioned.
