You get house points through good behaviour, (you get smiley faces for work) the house with the most house points is named House of the week. A house captain goes all over the school to collect house points for all four houses. When this is finished the house captain counts the house points and rights the total on the total bar. In the assembly the teacher reads out the results. The house that has the highest wins the Behaviour Cup. Winning the Behaviour Cup means your house wins twenty five house points. House Captains & Vice Captains House Captains are the captains of the house and there are four in Key Stage 2. The House Captains lead their houses in the House Competition. If the House Captains are sick, on holiday, or on a school trip, the Vice Captains stand in for them. The Vice Captains have the same “power” as the House Captains but can only replace the House Captain when the House Captain is away. But how do you become a House Captain? It’s easy, you get elected. In the second week of school and you need to be in Year 6 Key Stage 2 Captains and Vice-Captains Students who want to be a house captain have to write a speech. Then, at the Thursday assembly, the houses are divided and send to different classrooms. There, the Year 6 students have the opportunity to address their house before they go out to allow the house to vote. The student with the most votes is named House Captain, the student with the second highest number of votes is named Vice Captain. House Competitions House competitions are the competitions created by the house/vice captains. They are three times a week, Monday, Wednesday and Friday. It works very easily, two house teams play on Monday and the other two play on Wednesday. While the House Captains are playing the other two House Captains referee. On Monday the 13th of October the Basketball competitions started. Egor and the other members of the House leaders plan to include other sports this year, including a junior marathon, rugby, snowman creating for winter, volleyball, field hockey, chess and many more fun activities!

Visit the BSB website at www.britishschool.ro House Point Revamp 2008 Since the beginning of term, the Secondary House Committee has been busy working on new ideas for the House Point competition. As you all know, house points are given by members of staff in recognition for helping others as well as competing in house activities and sports games during the year. Secondary School House Competition Mures Arges Olt Danube Once a week the house points are collected and presented in the Assembly on Tuesday. The house that has the most points at the end of the week will now receive a House Cup to indicate they have the most points for that week. These scores are then collated at the end of the term and whichever house has the most points will have a non-uniform day. At the end of the summer term, the house that has the most points overall will be rewarded with a final treat. Ideas the committee have at the moment include a trip out, a barbeque and many others which are all hush hush at the moment. The new committee members are Mr Pantella, Mr O’Brien and Mr Perrett. House Point Chart For September-October 2008 Denis, Year 10 House Captain Hi, my name is Denis Zisman and I’m the House Captain for Mures this year. I’m 15 years old and I’m in Year 10 this year. This is my sixth year at BSB. I’m a friendly person who enjoys playing sports and I believe I am a person you can relay on for almost anything. I like meeting new people and making new friends and think that I am a cool person to hang around with. I enjoying going out on weekends and partying with friends. I think BSB in general is a pleasant place to study, a place where people fit in easily and makes friends quickly as it is a cosy school. This year I hope, and will try my hardest, to lead my house to victory in the House Games Competition. I will participate as much as possible and will try to inspire others to do likewise. I truly believe that the house cup this year will go to Mures! Andreea, Year 10 House Captain Hi, my name is Andreea and I’m the new House Captain for Arges. I’m 14 years old and currently in Year 10. I like playing hockey, swimming, and drawing. I like all kinds of music, from classic to rock, as long as it is good music. I’m a friendly, happy, and a sociable person. I like being surrounded by people and having fun with my friends. I consider myself a team player and last year I found it very interesting to see what a house captain does for and gets from his/her team. Being a house captain is a very interesting job because you have to be there for your house, to help them to get as many points as possible and maybe win. Nour, Year 12 House Captain Hi, my name is Nour Chehab and I’m 17 years old. I’m currently in Year 12 and have been at BSB for 4 years now, of which the last three years I have been the house captain for Olt. I think I’m a very friendly person and everyone says I’m really good at helping people with personal issues and giving them advice. I enjoy going out with friends on weekends and having a great time around people. I like going to BSB and this year there’s been great improvements around the school and it made it seems to be more fun and interesting as well as better surroundings in which to learn. This year I can tell that Olt is much more enthusiastic about the competitions and winning every week because of the new changes that happened this year with the house awards. I hope this year we will win because Olt is known for winning in past years at BSB. Polen, Year 7 House Captain Hi, my name is Polen Turkmen and I’m the new house captain for Danube this year. I’m in Year 7 and I am nearly 12 years old. I come from Turkey. I have been in the British School of Bucharest (and in Danube) for 7 years. I was a house captain last year, when I was in Primary, where I think we really worked together as a team, which is what makes a team successful in my opinion. I hope that we will be successful this year in collecting house points and helping the team to improve because I really want Danube to win at least once in the senior school. I hope we all make a great effort each week.
