6.    Any Other Business

bullet Concern was expressed that student would like to use the Games Hall at lunchtimes. It was pointed out that hockey occurs on a Friday lunchtime. The council would like to see the games hall used more, for 5-a-side for example. This could be done on a rolling basis. Mr Chapman to ask for a response from Mr Richardson, and this will be discussed at the next meeting.
bullet Students are worried that the new school will make if difficult for students to go down the street and back. They would like a longer lunch break – could this be looked into by the SMT?
