Student Council Minutes 24/11/03

 

Citizenship

 

When citizenship will be taught has already been decided but the Council can still have input on what is taught.

 

Post-AS-Levels

 

It is felt that there is a perennial truancy problem during this period. (87 Lower 8ths were absent on just one day last year). The Council has made its position clear on this issue: that this two week period should be used constructively for off-syllabus projects, rather than A2 starter courses. The Council still supports the proposals put forward by Adam Scheuer and Matt Hanney.

 

Patball

 

A fortnight has passed, and the trellis still stands.

 

School Email

 

Charlie Fink objected to the school email filtering system. The Council feels that this system has little to no purpose and Charlie will speak to Mr Lines in order to clarify the policy

 

Key Fobs

 

Nick Philpot spoke to Mr Barker and he said that it would be possible to use key fobs for signing in and out of school.
