 Eventually we wake up and the sun is shining. At last I am able to do some cycling this morning. Each Wednesday morning at 7.25 am each Tutor meets with their tutees. I decide to treat my boys by having coffee and biscuits. There is a fair amount of banter and it is a good time for juniors and seniors to mix.
In McKenzie, we have a Chairman of the Common Room Committee. The
committee consists of the Housemaster, Assistant Housemaster, House
Manager, Head of House and a representative from each year group. It
normally meets twice a term but this is the responsibility of the
matric in charge of this portfolio to set up the meeting. The
Chairman (a Form V portfolio) draws up an agenda after asking the
dormitory representatives for items and we discuss matters related
to the House. The Chairman conducts the meeting and it is a good
exercise for a senior boy to chair a committee. It is a good
opportunity for boys to learn how a committee operates and part of
the representatives’ task is to report back to their dormitory
colleagues, after the meeting. It also allows me to find out about
logistical problems in the House with a smaller group. The boys come
up with good ideas which we try and implement where we can. |
