DISCUSSION.
* Bio-fence/ diversity area removal. Two weeks ago, several biodiversity areas (protected areas for nature to be undisturbed) around Campus were cut down. There is a rumour that it was due to their appearance during weddings. However, they were only cut down when there were two weddings left in the season. The Student Council wants to know why this happened and Estate and Sustainability Council are working on this.
* August period/ first year induction review. Students felt that there needed to be a review of
August period and first year induction to improve them for next year. This could be organised within Services, year groups or smaller, mixed groups. Progress will be made within the next couple of weeks.
* AC IDs. Identification which would be helpful for students when travelling through Customs to get to AC and needing to prove their purpose was suggested.
* Blue muggin’. Just a reminder to ask students to put the blue mugs back when they are finished with in the Canteen so as not to repeat last year’s issue.
* Reppin’. The system for Reps to increase the work done between Houses and to ensure that Student Council aren’t dealing with issues that should be done by Reps is being created. We hope to expand this so that each set of Reps will have an email group.
* Save the Otters. Paul Lau will do some more investigating into why the stationery has been changed from Otter pads.
* Integration of first years in Student Council. The Student Council is working on ways to integrate first years to get their input, feedback, help them pursue their ideas more efficiently.
* House bank. Student Council discussed when would be the ideal times for House Bank to open.
* Board of Governors. The Board have recently shown they are very interested in what we are doing as a student body and feedback to them is much appreciated. Stephen Cox agreed that it is important to find a new focus for the College, set up in a Cold War context, to understand the positives and negatives of life at the College and to encourage the less vocal voice of the Student body, which is usually the majority.
* Student Council email account. This is a (very) long running issue – having a way for students to communicate anonymous messages to the Student Council i.e. concerning less popular student opinion. The Student Council decided to try and organise something without the IT department.
* Carrel Units. Carrel Units are not to be claimed. Students can leave their belongings on the shelves in the room. A solution to this problem is still being discussed. Suggestions have included opening more Units, assigning people to a room as opposed to a spot and finding out who exactly wants a Carrel Unit.
* WiFi. First years should know about the WiFi. Coffee Lounge promoting themselves to say they will have wireless. Said they have tried this and it crashed. Need to talk to senior management if they want to do this. School want to be laptop school with wireless bubble.
