Student Council Blog – People may have forgotten but there
is a blog that has the student council minutes
from the most recent to a few years ago. Take a look J: http://notenoughminutesintheday.blogspot.co.uk/
Letter Home- Nick implied that a standard
could be set for letters among Houseparents that would ensure the gender
of a sexual partner after being caught having sex would not be disclosed. Tim
and Shanna will follow up.
Curriculum time – Tim and Shanna saw Nick about this issue
but because John and Dace were not present an official decision could not be
established. We would like to abolish ‘curriculum time’
between the hours of 7-9 based on the principle that students should be
responsible for their own study time and, while they should not fail to meet
obligations, initiatives are convenient at this time and should be allowed.
Cultural Sensitivity- As house reps stated at house
meetings, please make sure that you are being sensitive
to other cultures with regards to jokes about sex.
Teacher evaluation – Mariana and Leila went to see Dave
about possible obtaining more frequent teacher evaluations. Dave said that this
may not happen however there are plans for senior staff
and heads of faculties to sit in on lessons in order to review the
teachers.
Strategic Plan Review- The student
perspective of the strategic plan has been completed and will be sent out today. We will then organise a time for John
to go through his plan for the whole school so people are aware of changes to
come.
Big Booker Campaign – There has been controversy surrounding
this poster campaign and, while some of the points are valid, we would like to move forward in a constructive way that voices the
concerns of the student body to the staff and affects changes in issues such as
communication. Whole school meetings are being
planned for twice a term in the future and this may allow for improved
communication. In addition, we need to make sure that student council is
utilised to its full potential so, if you have any concerns, complaints,
comments etc. please do not hesitate to tell your house
rep or attend student council! Everyone is welcome.
