Assembled Adolescents Annoyed by Angered Authorities
Senior Management today provoked outrage amongst many Sixth Formers after an emergency assembly was called on Friday morning. The assembly was called to deal with issues surrounding the apparent abuse and misuse of the Sixth Form Centre and its facilities, including the vandalism of the same vending machine reported on by RS Magazine which caused controversy last month after the announcement of a new pricing scheme.
Other topics discussed during the assembly included the apparent lack of cleanliness within the Centre itself, a consequence of constant neglect by all Sixth Formers according to Senior Management officials.
Deputy Head Teacher, Mrs. Jan Turner, stressed that it was the responsibility of all users of the Sixth Form Centre to maintain a state of hygiene and cleanliness fit for a social centre, study area and canteen.
The exclusive area, which can only be accessed by Further Education students and members of the school staff, has seemingly been in a state of decline for some months now, and it was revealed today that there had previously been threats of the Centre’s canteen being closed to students and even the suggestion that the Centre should be transformed into an area for teacher’s only, forcing Sixth Formers away from the school at lunchtimes in search of food.
Today’s assembly also criticised seemingly uninvolved Sixth Formers, whose apparently passive attitude and apathy towards dealing with those responsible for littering and vandalising the Sixth Form Centre was seen to be as much a cause of the current problem as those Sixth Formers who are involved in the vandalism and littering themselves.
“It’s a complete disgrace to blame everyone,†claimed angry Sixth Former Richard Henshaw of Fleckney. “Perhaps people might have pride in the Sixth Form Centre if facilities had been better in the first place.â€
The potential closing of the canteen and vending machine will no doubt be seen by many as yet another rotten shrimp on the already contentious barbecue that is Sixth Form Catering, after previous comments from Head Boy Adam Beer, who claimed that students were being charged too much for snacks and drinks within the centre.

Let’s face it, if the canteen was closed, we would all save a lot of money

if the canteen was closed and we all had to leave the premises at break and lunch they’d only face the problem of trying to get everyone back into school afterwards. So this is a ridiculous idea. But yes i agree we would all be saving a lot of money on food if we did go elsewhere!
p.s. i did hear someone tell someone else to put their litter in the bin today so it worked! haha
