we had two common rooms - but they were shared by yrs 10/11/12. they weren't anything exciting, just padded chairs in each room and a microwave, sink and hot water machine in each room... plus a couple of vending machines...
i personally never really went in there... our canteen was a better place to hang at break times

Our common room has two sections, there is the main area, then two offices for private study. Nothing is supplied by the school, some students brought in old lounges from home/op shops, and stuff. At the end of the year, it had to be cleaned out. If it became to messy (we were responsible for keeping it clean as well) we would be locked out!!!!

We HAD a common room. It was one big room with 3 sets of sofas, a tv, tables+chairs, fridge, microwave, ping-pong table, dart board and board games like chess. However, our common room was closed down permanently when some fool trashed the place, around September this year.

we were locked out of our common room after just 2 days (we only just got it) cos a group of boys decided to write all over the lounges and tables with black permanent marker. we werent allowed back in until the boys were forced clean it all up...

We have:

Chairs
Tables
2 Lounges
Computer

Does anyone else here have a common room at their school...and what things do you have in it...how did you raise the money to get them or did the school give it to you?
Our commonroom is the size of about 3 or 4 classrooms we r just a public school but we have like a kitchen ( normal stuff in it like fridge stove sink) no actual chairs and desk just tons of lunges and floor space

there was a year 12 common room until some of our guy friends got their hands on the keys and cut a heap of copies and gave them to whoever they pleased when we were in year 10. so that was the end of that. it became a store room after that. but we never spent free periods at school and we had a pretty good senior area if we were there for lunch anyway

We had a group like that when i was in yr 7 i think, they were absolutly disgusting. The Common room was actually a breading place for rats and since it backed onto the staff room they got some nice suprises. So it was shut down after that and made into two classrooms - So we get to hang with all the little kids.... Fun :( and now they have got rid of our mound which was completly juinor free for classrooms....

our common room is the size of 3 classrooms with our lockers along the walls. its also got a pretty good view :p
its got 5 lounges and a 5 seater
it also has:
- a stero
- sandwich press
- microwave
- instant boiling water system thingy..
oh yeah, and we don't keep a fridge for obvious reason..ppl leaving stuff in there until it goes all mouldy and then affects the non-spoilt food..

but we might be getting a mini fridge for drinks only

our common room has like... lots of flies.. and chairs... 1 airconditioner.... a fridge, where we freeze flies. A microwave where we melt flies. And a kettle which boils water way too hot and we basically use to scold any year 11's who try to pass themselves off for year 12.

hey, has anyone here campaigned to have a common room? can you tell me what you did?

we, apparently, got a 'senior study area' a couple of years ago, in 2001 i think. it's total BS though - they're just a bunch of picnic tables outside (there's a roof covering but it leaks heaps when it rains), the angles the tables/benches are on makes it wicked uncomfortable to work, there's bird shit everywhere, and it's right outside the gym which means there's a lot of noise.

considering that they just built two new buildings that largely consist of new staffrooms (there's like three-four classrooms in one and two in the other -granted,the drama/music rooms are f-ing awesome compared to what we had) i don't think it's so unreasonable that we ask for a senior common room. i personally want us to get the cottage (which had previously been used for the bands in the morning, but given the size of the new music room, i don't really think they 'need' it anymore) but i really think most people would be happy with a classroom. anything. we demand our rights as seniors, damnit :p

we didn't have a common room either... rawr... it sucked especially when i went to other schools' prefect afternoon teas, with their oh-so-fabulous common rooms :( all we had was the "senior area", which is just a huge patch of grass and some benches :p and that's shared with the yr11s :eek:

(they better not build a yr12 common room now that we've left, though :p)
