using bittorent is the best way to kill the school network

Using Bittorent on the school network isn’t allowed because it has the capacity to bring the school network to a stand still. First time offenders are given a warning. The second time you’ll be referred to your division level Principal and your computer might be placed into a restricted lock down mode.

bittorent

The image above we see the impact a single Bittorent user visiting 45,000 websites in a few minutes. For comparison a normal computer will visit about 2,000 websites in a day. Bittorent applications Vuse, uTorrent and Tranmission should not be on your computer.

 

Int. Orchestra Cancelled

Intermediate Orchestra will be cancelled for the next two weeks. In the upcoming week, we will be scheduling Advanced Orchestra instead so that they may prepare for their graduation performance. The following week is exam week.

Happy studying!

Interhouse Music Competition

20111024-ticketed-event-3

This year’s Interhouse Music Competition takes place Friday, May 15th at the start of lunch. The piece we’ve chosen is ‘Sway’ – a fusion Latin-jazz piece, made famous by both Dean Martin and recently Michael Buble.

The three houses have been working very hard on their orchestrations. This year looks to be the best year ever, with the quality of the groups so close that it’s bound to be hard to pick a winner.

Please come at the start of lunch to support your house. We look forward to seeing you there!
