Welcome to my school's website. Over-efforted, over-revealing, over-loaded, over-texted, and over-informative website for a school. I have apparently, for some weird, twisted, unknown reason. Yup. Me with my classic shoes, now trown away, and my black watch, now scratched. I want to bombard the school for other reasons too. For example, there are only 5 half-days in the entire year. Grades are kept confidential, and they're gonna be released soon, its stupid (Meh, but an 8.7 in Sociales and a 8.4 in Español isn't bad, only grades I know.). Can you believe we get less quality food than teachers? Oh yes. And the principal wants to send us to $5,000 peso restraunt. $5,000? How cheap is he? And then a field trip, we pay $24,000. Too much? OMG.

Did I mention I'm a Falcon? The Middle School House System. Falcons are in the center in green.

Each school is organized by Houses –Eagles (yellow), Falcons (green), and Hawks (red)– to promote integration across grade levels and team work. The House system also provides opportunities for students to discover their strengths and talents that might otherwise remain unknown. Houses compete for points throughout the year in activities such as sports, math quiz bowls, social studies debates, drama, dance, art, and literature in order to win the coveted trophy.

The House system is British in origin. Students are randomly sorted into three or four houses and they remain in their appointed house for the duration of each school life. Siblings who already have a brother or sister in a particular house are not randomly assigned because the system aims at creating unity rather than discord amongst family members. At the end of the year, the points of each house are added up and the winning house has their name and the year engraved on the House Cup, which stands as a symbol of the House’s effort and success.

House related activities require an enormous amount of dedication, organization and planning. There is at least one inter-house competition per marking period The House sponsors are responsible for conducting House assemblies and recording points earned for their House. The points are reported to the house coordinator who publishes them on a regular basis in the student announcements. The House coordinator works with the House sponsors, the principal, and other staff members in the organization and implementation of House activities. All faculty members are encouraged to show House spirit by wearing their House T-shirt; sit with their House; spread out to help with discipline rather than sitting with fellow teachers; and encourage students to participate in the House event.

Interested?

My school has a house system of 5 houses named after historical british figures.

My old school had 4 houses. Shaftesbury , Brunel, Newton and Colleridge. They were cool house names, I was in Shaftesbury

After I left, they changed to Byron, Conolly, Fonteyn, and Hanway. Sucky.

Shaftesbury and Newton always had a massive rivalry; sports, grades, fights, were always led by one of these two. I miss those days!


*edit*
Did I use the semicolon correctly there?

We have the same thing here for school sporting events... Ones which I never participate. I'm in the red group, the others are blue, yellow and green.
Red does awesome during sports day, then everything else "we" get lazy.

When i was at secondary school we had four house names taken from sporting figures. We had Moss, Wade, Truman and i cant remember the other one. The rivalry was immense! We would get house points for certain things during the year but nothing more competitive than sports week! Each house went against each other for a trophy and the games played in sports week didn't stop at rugby, football, tennis badminton etc...... such crazy activities such as river jumping were involved. Basically the school had a stretch of river which was of various distance and if you got wet you were out. If you cleared the river/stream you moved further up the bank where it got wider and wider. Why we couldn't just do the long jump instead i don't know. When i look back on it i am surprised we were allowed to even do this especially considering todays rules at school with games like tag being stopped.

Spec....

We had a student vote a couple of years ago to change the names of our houses, and seriously the following 4 were on the voting card.

* Gryffindor
* Hufflepuff
* Ravenclaw
* Slytherin...

I'm glad I've finished with that school now...

The winners were Power, Victory, Spirit and Valor.

We had houses also, 6 of them.
They were Dunkery, Brendon, Winsford, Selworthy, Grabbist () and Quantock, all name of local feature (hills, cliffs etc). The winning house was always Dunkery. Always. I was in Dunkery, and we always had a nice little rivalry (), infact we used to have a yearly bowling championship just between Brendon and Dunkery.
@ Casio too.
