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.

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.
