DISCUSSION.
* August period/ first year induction review. August period/ first year induction review. The Staff agreed that feedback would be really useful and that this should happen as soon as possible. We should also include induction feedback from a second year perspective.
* Student IDs. The main reason for wanting IDs seems to be problems when travelling. This can be helped by having an ISIC card which the school can help you get. Other ID cards which help getting a
railcard or when shopping etc can be bought on the internet for around £8. The fact that this should be better publicised was discussed – perhaps in the student handbook or the joining papers especially so that students could get their flight to AC cheaper when coming for the first time. The acceptance letter issued by the school can be used as a form of ID when travelling but some students have had problems when coming back after their first flight.
* Otter pads. The new paper we have is sustainable. There is less paper available because it is more expensive but it is hoped that this will encourage students to use the paper more responsibly.
House bank times. Paul will ask the House Bank to change their opening times. This has been done and an email was sent out, confirming times.
* Breakfast time. Breakfast will be open until 8:10 from now on, like last year.
* Carrel Units. Nick said he would ask the cleaners to clear the desks in all Carrel Units and not just some, which has happened so far. Students are allowed to leave their books on the shelves but it is at their own risk. Students should be reminded that no one can claim a Carrel Unit and these spaces must be shared and respected. The Student Council are working with the Staff to try and think of the best solution to this problem. Some suggestions included: opening up new units, investing money into the rooms currently unusable as Carrel Units, getting an estimate of the shortfall on Carrel Units and finding out exactly who wants one so that they could be assigned on a room as opposed to student basis.
* Nick Lush asked us to remind students that there were bottles found in fields surrounding the College which, especially during harvest season, are incredibly damaging to machines, crops and consumers. There was also a sock found on the smoke detector in S13 Carrel Unit.
* Paul Motte commented that the Governors had very positive responses to the Glassroom Event. We will try to do this twice a year as a social event. Students should be reminded that this should be a social event and not a means for students to bypass the Senior Staff with their views.
