  • Charlie Thompon made Mr Jaine aware of the popular desire to have an American Football games half.

 

Tuck Shop: Members suggested that both Tuck Shops should sell pop tarts.  Also demands that the (junior) Tuck Shop should stay open till 2:15pm, and that it should be well stocked with such exclusive items as doughnuts, pastries, cookies and buns, in order to provide for hungry Paulines throughout the lunch break.

 

School Lunches: Still on the appetising subject of food, it was pointed out that food was in short supply towards the end of lunch breaks (especially frustrating for rowers).  Also, more frequent pizza and other popular food would be very welcome.

 

That Door (!): The door on the ground floor of the Milton Building opening onto the playing field is seems to be locked for anyone trying to enter the building, and we can’t quite work out why.  It should probably be opened unless there is a specific reason for it being in such an annoying state.

 

Drama: It’s not getting enough coverage at apposition.  There are no drama prizes, or performances!

 

Music in Atrium: Everyone loves it, and it doesn’t disturb many people outside the Atrium, Tuck Shop and Changing Rooms.  A system where Paulines could book a slot for a Friday lunch break would be excellent.

 

Publicity: Members feel not many Paulines know who is in the Council or what our tie means.  We will look into this matter, and try and make the Pauline community more aware of who we are.

 

Intellectual Property: The Council questions the legitimacy of St Paul’s contractual agreement with parents, claiming any work produced by Paulines to be its intellectual property.  Perhaps the school could clarify this matter
