As from the start of this term, alterations have been made to the roles and responsibilities requested of the Year 8s. From now on, every boy in the year will be allocated a specific area of school life for which they will have special responsibilities, in order to help develop personal skills and qualities as well as providing essential assistance in the day-to-day running of the school.
The roles range from helping out with specific departments, such as Music, Art, DT, ICT, Games and Learning Support, to helping with Year 3 and the Pre-Prep, and more generally helping with other areas of school life such as the School Office, the Library and Breaktime duties.
Their reward? Apart from the satisfaction of helping others, all Year 8 boys have been given a new tie with diagonal gold stripes. This used to be the tie that was awarded to Year 8 Prefects. Moulsford boys and staff will continue to elect Prefects and a Head Boy, and these positions will be decided and announced in a few weeks’ time, with a new and different tie to follow for them – red with gold twin stripes.
Well done to all Year 8 boys on an excellent start to term, and we look forward to them being fantastic role models to the younger boys as the year unfolds.
