थोडक्यात उत्तर

उत्तर

The half-yearly report of the students’ council which is an event entirely arranged and presented by the students themselves, was held on November 15th. Miss Joseph and Denham the two senior students were in charge of the day’s programme. The meeting began with a speech by Mr. Florian the headmaster who outlined the aims and policies of the school. His presentation through lengthy was well received and was followed with a short address by Miss Joseph who outlined the council’s purpose and its activities. Following this each class took turns, reporting through their chosen representatives on what they had been studying in the first half of the year which had begun after Easter. Each subject had its own representative. The lowest class was the first to present its report. Mr. Braithwaite’s class being the oldest was the last to present its report. After all, representatives had presented their report, a panel of teachers were chosen to answer any questions pertaining to the reports which had been given. Mr. Weston, Mrs. Dale Evans and Miss Phillips were chosen at random to form the teacher’s panel. Denham protested the need for students to take the PT class. Mr. Weston responded poorly by being loud and aggressive instead of offering valid points. However, Miss Phillips stepped in and defended the need for all students to do P.T. Although Denham had made some good points, he was soon outwitted by Miss Phillips and gave up on the matter. The meeting ended with a final address by the headmaster, expressing his pride in all the students and appreciating them for their efforts.
