New Boarders Handbook

28/29 REWARDS FOR MERITS The Year group that receives the most merits per student in one half term will be eligible for either: A movie with either popcorn or pizza or cinema/bowling. This reward will be offered in the final week of the half term (except Christmas and Summer when it will be the penultimate week) and the student in that year group with the most merits will be able to choose which reward he would like. The year group winning the prize will be accompanied by a Housemaster or Tutor if they are visiting town. If a student is not working satisfactorily, he may be given an additional allocated study time and be supported through a variety of methods. PUPIL VOICE It is imperative that everyone living at Fraser Youens has regular input into the daily running of the house. This is facilitated via weekly meetings, informal discussion, student surveys and both Boarding and Food Councils. Boarders’ Council The Boarders’ Council is an elected body, which seeks to improve conditions within the boarding community. The Council meets regularly with the Director of Boarding to discuss boarding issues. The meeting is chaired by a Senior Boarding Prefect. Food Council The Food Council is an elected body that will discuss catering matters and ensures that all boarders have a ‘voice’ in terms of catering issues. The Council meets once per term with the Catering Manager and a Housemaster to discuss catering issues. Digital Council The Digital Council is an elected body that will discuss digital matters such as internet use and ICT within Fraser Youens. We would like everyone to have input into the House Councils. It is up to you to help ensure that all within our community have a voice.
