Page 4 - Who Are We? SKC's Class of 2010 Part 1

by Thursday, July 15, 2010 1 comments
Hey guys! I watched the 10 seasons of the Sit Com. "Friends." Whilst it sets an unrealistic expectation on us guys it does make a good point. During the final episode as the relationship between Ross and Rachael was finally resolved, my eyes were getting a tad misty.

The relationship between Ross and Rachael had its up and downs. Both of them had to go through hell and back yet they came back together. Sometimes the belief that you'll end up with the right person is more important than how you look or who you're looking forward. Just believing when it comes to love will get you there.

Page 4 - Because everything I do, I do it for my school.

February 2007 I started my time at St. Kevins College. The environment I was suddenly thrown in was vastly different. We were dumped on a campus that was really too small. From a year level with about 40 guys, I went into a testerone filled year group of over 200. I remember on orientation day one of the guys I ended up being friends with gave me this piece of advice.

You don't play Runescape right, because that would be like... unfortunate.

And so began the epic 4 year journey at SKC. Would I have it any other way? I don't think so. Everyday begins with a train ride in.

You know you're going to St. Kevins when you get off at Heyington and there's about a hundred boys (literally) trying to get through that little passage.

I feel sorry for the other commuters trying to get on the train. You see them there trying to buy tickets at the ticket machine.

"Should we go around?"
"Nah."

Walk towards the locker bay. You see someone you don't know all that well but you think they're a good guy.

You hold out your hand as you walk past. Your friend catch that hand with their own hand. Your two hands touch and mutual respect flows between them. No words are exchanged. This moment lasts for a split second as you continue to walk past. Failure to let go with correct timing means your arm is stretched and all respect disappears.

There are occasional back pats. And other palces...

Get to home group or "mentor period"

Period 1.

The first thing you notice at St. Kevins is the 90123 flights of stairs we are forced to climb. It is actually not a joke. Classes are taken across 4 buildings. That sounds ok right? There's 5 levels above the surfact and 5 levels below the surface. Yay. Classes at the top floor followed immediately by classes on the bottom floor are not uncommon but an everyday facet of life. If you're overweight, spend a year at St. Kevins, I swear you're legs won't be able to thank you enough.

Mentor Period!

As you climb the stairs, remember not to touch any part of the rails. The rails may contain but not limited to any number of the following things: honey, glue, confetti, sandwiches, smeared fruit, tuck shop "food" and urine.

English. English class is usually taken the most seriously by the boys at St. Kevins. Our year level's aim is to get 50% of all boys over the study score of 40. Discussions are always epic, orals are always epic and Andrew Bolt has successfully featured in every St. Kevin boy's English exam somewhere over his senior school exam.


What we get up to at Recess.
Recess. There was this one time, when someone broke a window. The single biggest incident of the calender year. How do we alert the teachers of this dire situation?

Everyone, I mean everyone, literally 90% of the whole school stand around that one window and make loud noises. The theory is that a teacher somewhere or somehow will hear the sounds and come solve the problem.

School canteen is renown for the extraordinary prices we put up with. Here's a sample.



For 4 dorahs and you get ... Shepherd's Pie!


Yummy!

It's really fun. Then after recess you need to take a dump. After you take a dump you need to flush the toilet.

How do you flush it? Nah! Just brush your hand over the toilet flushing sensor. Strictly hands free! Yay!
