Hi everyone,
I hope you all enjoyed the break.It’s good to be back!
We have just completed the first week of the third term. This is my favorite stretch of the year due to the stress of eisteddfod and exams behind us, and the exciting upcoming events such as POPS, Inter-House 7’s etc. Lets not forget about Round 2 against Bosch as well.
White house has quickly filled with rapturous smiles and exciting stories of the boys adventurous holidays.
Everyone seems happy and have all settled in. The grade 10 dorm seems the happiest. I was walking through the quad and found myself listening to the grade 10's singing 'a thousand miles' by Vanessa Carlton!
I am happy to say that most of the boys have returned well groomed and with tidy uniform. A good start!
This term we are going to be focusing on keeping the house clean, but mainly the dorms. Cubicles in the dorms can quickly get out of hand with sweet wrappers on the floor, clothes everywhere and just general clutter.The leaders will keep their eye on this and will be focusing on maintaining a tidy house throughout the term.
That’s it from me this week.
Keep well,
Mike

Summing Up The Situation
Hi all,
Just to let you know that I will now be writing a weekly entry to keep you informed of what has been happening in White House during the week.
Well I'm sure all the boys would agree with me that after this term, all we have left to say is "phew". It has been a fatiguing and strenuous term for each boy due to the time consuming exams and the blast of Eistedfod.
After such a huge demand on us for exams we were drained but switched on the reserve tanks and excelled in various aspects of the Eistedfod. Thanks to many of our talented speakers in White House, we managed to place 4th in the speech category. We did pretty well in the drama category too! But all this information can be found on the College Website or this link : http://college.bishops.org.za/eisteddfod/overallresults.asp
After a considerable amount of singing practice, White House seemed well prepared for the big night and sounded the best it had in years! We all have Stratos Samaras, Andrew Earl and Kabelo Gcabashe to thank for their help, but mainly Stratos who was passionately involved from the start.
I would like to say farewell and good luck to Carl Alakidja who is leaving to study in England. Carl has always been a pleasure to have around and will be sincerely missed by the house and especially his dorm-mates.
Good luck to Michael Foxcroft and Mahatma Ulimwengu who both are on Himalaya duty this holiday.
Also, good luck to Tshepo Motale and James Drummond who will both be representing Western Province for rugby and hockey respectively.
Please use this time to get uniform organised! ie : Top buttons(excuses such as " but i'm so huge, my top button wont go in" will not be tolerated any more! buy a bigger shirt!), blazer buttons, ripped pants etc..
HAIR HAIR HAIR! - long hair or any Don King wannabe's will not be tolerated and boys will receive Saturday detentions and will not be allowed to attend school until it is cut.
I haven't been there for White house as much as I would have liked to have been this past term but everyone will certainly see more of me next term!
White house boys and parents, I wish you an awesome holiday. Keep well and see you next term!

P.S : boys, keep fit during the holidays. We still have another battle against Bosch!
