It's Installations Time of Year!

On the second day of term the Warden installed the new team of college prefects in chapel. There are more prefects than usual this year and this is mainly because they are a terrific form.

This Sunday at Matins (by the way directly after Dawn Walk no. 1 see here) six new fellows of the college will also be installed. The fellows are equivalent to governors in other schools and have a really important role in decisions to do with the future of the college. There are some really excellent individuals joining this body and all of us at Serpents & Doves wish them well - and if there are any fellows reading who better to ask about life as a pupil in the college than a member of TY? Now there's an invite.

But really getting to the point of this post. In TY in the last days we have had our own installation. Yes the six members of this term's TY Tuck Shop Co-Op have been appointed. All they need to do now is to brush up on their 8 x tables...(that's one for the Maths Dept.)

The tuck shop at SCC uses profits to pay its workers, make contributions to charity appeals within school and also provides funds for sporting facilities around the college. Working there helps your inter-personal skills, trains you to work under pressure, improves your multi-tasking and in general gives a really good insight into the world of retail.

There will be plenty of opportunities for other members of TY to gain the whirlwind of experience that comes from being a St. Columba's confectionery clerk you just need to approach Mr Swift if keen.

And the successful applicants are: S. Freney (Glen), B. Dickerson (Stackallan), T. McLarn (Stackallan), S. Sheeran (Hollypark), M. Buckingham (Beresford) and S.Beeby (Beresford). Well done chaps and remember 80c + 80c + 80c = €2.40!
