1) Confirmation of the Minutes of the Previous Meetings

Gupta, the Minutes were confirmed.
(21.04.06) Proposed by Siddhartha Sharma and seconded by Akash
Maheshwari, the Minutes were confirmed.
2) Matters arising out of the Minutes
Liberalising Rules for Scs:
a) Time After Dinner Instead of Before
Free time was allotted to SC-Formers to meet each other before dinner.
However, the boys felt that they would rather have free time after
dinner than before. The Chairman said that this was discussed in the
Housemaster’s Council and they felt that boys should be in their houses
until and unless a centralized place was marked. Siddhartha Sharma
suggested form-wise seating in the CDH. After much discussion, the
Council decided not to try it as it would be too disruptive.
b) School Games Should be Optional
Another way to loosen the schedule for SC-Formers was to make School
Games optional. DKS, however, felt that attending School Games was not a
problem. Also, School Games are just two or three times a week and
scheduled for only a month in the Spring Term and a month in the Autumn
Term.
c) Last Week Off Before Trials
The Chairman said that a certain number of hours in the classroom were
required by the Council. This issue was forwarded to the Academic
Council.
d) More Free Schools in a Week
The School Captain felt that for boys who had opted for the Commerce
stream, the school could consider free schools since they can
comfortably finish their syllabus. The Chairman felt that SCs could
review their work during classes. PKN remarked that Scs got the most
number of free schools. Akash Maheshwari felt that learning should go
beyond the syllabus. Kushagra Kumar stated that boys who had gone into
the Science stream hardly ever got a library school. The Chairman ruled
that SC formers who went to the library were frequently unruly and often
slept there. He suggested that SC formers use class hours to revise.
e) One P.T. Squad |
