PROPOSALS
1. OGS - For lunch to have more varied vegetarian options
Mr Griffin pointed out that:
- 80% of City Boys are not vegetarians and so the proposal to
offer two vegetarian options each day is unrealistic
- The proposal should be discussed at the catering representatives
meeting this term, including the possibility of pasta and jacket
potato options.
This will be forwarded to Mrs Senior, the Catering Manager who
will convene a meeting with School parliament catering reps.
2. Re: clocks - rejected
3. 1R - For there to be more awareness with regards to the
school table tennis team
Mr Griffin reported that:
- A team is run by Mr Blake from 4pm onwards every
Wednesday, as well as at lunch, and table tennis is an option for
Fifth and Sixth Formers
- Perhaps there is the need for more publicity.
Unanimous decision for the motion to be carried and it will be
passed to Messers Blake and Cornwell.
4. 2M - Fix locks on toilets in the changing rooms
Mr Griffin explained that:
- There was no need to go through Parliament Committee - time
consuming
- Report any problems straight to Second Master.
Unanimous decision against the motion but the Second Master
undertook to inform the School in assembly and through The
Citizen of a mechanism by which building maintenance issues can
be reported. He would also report this specific problem to the
Facilities Manager.
5. Re: lab stools - rejected
6. 3C - For the teachers to have the ability to temporarily
unblock certain websites for class use
It was suggested that:
- This was a good idea - group certain IP addresses for a
particular session
- Certain educational websites were blocked due to unfortunate
naming.
For - 8
Against - 1
Abstentions - 4
Therefore the motion has been carried and will be passed to the
IT Staff.
