DISCUSSION.
- Mubarak and Hannah. Less than half school voted and the votes gave pretty even results for the three songs. We flipped a coin and the song will be ‘Don’t Stop Me Now’ by Queen.

- Lost and Found system. From now on, ALL LOST AND FOUND ITEMS NOW GO TO JULIE GILES IN THE PORTER’S OFFICE. IF YOU HAVE LOST SOMETHING, CHECK FOR IT THERE QUICKLY SO THAT JULIE ISN’T SWIMMING IN A SEA OF OUR JUNK. YOU CAN STOP SENDING LOST EMAIL NOW, AWOOO.

* Graduation Reps. The Graduation Reps are now organised and are working together.

* Thematic discussion. There will no longer be an Induction review. Now that John Walmsley is here, the Service one can be organised at some point soon.

* Night Staff Contact. There has been a problem with contacting Night Staff quickly enough in emergencies over the past term and we want to find a way to change this. See Staff-Student Council minutes later, for details.

* Alcohol review. We organised a date for the review of the use of alcohol at AC which will be a whole-school discussion separated into small break-out groups, similar to in the AC Diploma conferences. Details to be confirmed.

* Bikes. People have had bikes destroyed and tampered with last term and over the holidays. We will take this issue to Staff-Student Council to find a better alternative.

* Printing Credits. We want to clarify how printing credits are assigned each term as the amount seems to alternate. This will be clarified at Staff-Student Council.

* Review of activity choosing process. We discussed whether unofficial activities can count towards CAS requirements. THEY CAN. JUST TELL YOUR TUTOR THAT YOU HAVE COMMITTED TO SOMETHING AND GET THEM TO CHECK WITH THE ACTIVITY LEADERS IF THEY WANT MORE DETAILS.

* Maintenance Staff. Maintenance problems in the houses often take a long time to fix and there is a difference in how well Maintenance issues are organised in each house. We will suggest a system that worked well in PK to Staff-Student Council which is to have a book with the issue, dorm, date requested and date fixed that could keep a better monitoring of issues at hand.
