Most of you will already be familiar with Dan Boucher and Tom Percy. However, just in case you're unsure who they are I thought it would be useful to post their pictures here.
Dan Boucher - House Captain
Tom Percy - Vice Captain
Remember: Dan and Tom are your first points of contact for any ideas and/or suggestions you may have about how to improve the House.
Mr Jarrett
So far you have been awarded 7713 House Points. Whilst that may sound impressive, the overall picture isn't so good:
1. Telford - 8122 (20.6%)
2. Darwin - 7978 (20.2%)
3. Newton - 7838 (19.9%)
4. Brunel - 7784 (19.7%)
5. Stevenson - 7713 (19.6%)
Well done to everyone who has contributed to our total to date, particularly those listed below who are the top performers in their respective forms:
Karanjot Chhatwal (7S) - 92
Connor Weeden (8S) - 113
Peter Farmer (9S) - 133
Sam Boorer (10S) - 84
Kamal Dewan (11S) - 66
Kishanthan Johnson (6S1) - 66
David Roddy (6S2) - 54
I'm not too concerned about our overall standing right now. However, I sincerely hope we're not lagging behind the other Houses nearer the end of the year. Food for thought, eh?
Mr Jarrett
So far you have raised £640. This is an impressive total, but we're still a long way off our end-of year target of £2000. We've had some excellent fundraising ideas that Dan and Tom will be following up again next week. In the meantime, I've signed up for the Paddock Wood half marathon on 07th April because it wouldn't be fair of me to ask you all to get involved and do nothing myself. So, if I'm prepared to spend the next 9-10 weeks training for 07th April, what are you and/or your form going to do to play your part?
Mr Jarrett
As it's the start of a new year, I thought it'd be a good idea to update you on where we're up to with house points, charity fundraising and inter-house competitions.
House Points
Up to Tuesday 18th December, you were awarded 6785 House Points. This is a tremendous effort and those listed below deserve special recognition for being the top House Point scorers in their respective forms:
7S: Karanjot Chhatwal - 84
8S: Connor Weeden - 93
9S: Peter Farmer - 109
10S: Sam Boorer - 64
11S: Ben Biggs 50
6S1: Kishanthan Johnson 61
6S2: David Roddy 47
However, when compared to the other Houses it’s clear we need to improve.
1. Telford - 7005 (20.4%)
2. Brunel - 6906 (20.1%)
3. Darwin - 6819 (19.9%)
4. Newton - 6788 (19.8%)
5. Stevenson - 6785 (19.8%)
House charity 2012/13
To date you have raised £605 through a combination of weekly collections and other fundraising activities. Thanks to everyone who has given so generously, particularly 11S who decided to donate £5.00 each earlier this term. I’d also like to acknowledge the outstanding contribution of Miss Allcock who, together with Seun Osho and her superb team of sixth form helpers, baked cakes to sell at open evenings before Christmas and raised £200 as a result. Brilliant! Thank you all.
Mr Williamson has set all five Houses a combined fundraising target of £10,000 for 2012/13. Although we’re just over a quarter of the way towards our individual House target of £2,000, I remain confident that this is achievable. Thanks to both 8S and 9S for their excellent fundraising ideas, which I’m looking forward to seeing come to fruition this year. These will, I’m sure, enable us to edge nearer still to our goal of £2,000.
Inter-House competitions
It was frustrating that both the year 7 and sixth form Inter-House football competitions were repeatedly cancelled before Christmas because of poor weather. Both will now take place this term and I will confirm dates ASAP. Competitions for all other year group football will take place afterwards.
I'd like to thank Dan Boucher (House Captain) and Tom Percy (Vice Captain) for their superb work since September, particularly the way in which they’ve raised the profile of the House and stressed the importance of everyone playing a part in our achievements. Stevenson House is very fortunate to have two such committed and pro-active students moving the House forward.
As ever, please come and see me, Dan or Tom if you have any queries and/or would like to take a more active role in House activities.
Mr Jarrett

Up to Friday 30th November, Stevenson students had been awarded 5026 House Points. This is a great achievement and the boys below deserve particular recognition for scoring the most House Points in their respective year groups:

- 8S – Connor Weeden (77 House Points)
- 9S – Peter Farmer (75 House Points)
- 10S – Sam Boorer (53 House Points)

- 6S2 – David Roddy (40 House Points)
Here's how we compare to the other Houses:
1. Telford 5213 (20.7%)
2. Brunel 5086 (20.2%)
3. Newton 5046 (20%)
4. Stevenson 5026 (19.9%)
5. Darwin 4845 (19.2%)
Food for thought, eh?
Thank you - Mr Jarrett
So far this year we have raised £474.30. As mentioned in our assembly yesterday, if we deduct the money raised from cake sales at recent open evenings, each student has donated 13 pence in the twelve weeks since September. Is this really the best we can do? Please give this some thought.
Both Newton and Telford have really hit the ground running on the fundraising front. I hope we can make some progress in catching them up as we approach Christmas and in the new year too, especially as the sole focus of our efforts this academic year is to honour the memory of Mr White.
Thank you - Mr Jarrett
