Colours are often reserved for year 13 boys who have made a significant contribution to the house in their time here. Quite rightly, we do not just give these away and they have to be earned often not only through years of commitment to the house but in fulfilling the duties bestowed particularly on year 13s. However, we now have a half colours award in the form of these amazing yellow socks. Boys in year 12 or below may earn the right to wear these IF they are deemed to be worthy of house half colours. For this, evidence of continued service and dedication to the house and its activities must be seen. They must be earned and I am very keen to see our first recipients earning them within the next term. Until they are earned, plain black socks only must be worn.
