Unruly groups of boys
Small and not so small
Teams 1, 2 and 3
Earn your privileges
Earn your rights
Don’t fight
Don’t swear
Do as you’re told
Help the cook
Wash the dishes
Peel the spuds
Clean the floor
Serve the meals
Scrape the plates
Get a wee pastry treat
Team sports and boxing
Run with a medicine ball
Scrag in the concrete gym
Learn to be hard
Play as a team
Look to the big boys
Fight for what you can win
School and learning to add
Swimming at lunchtime
Barefoot tennis and soccer
Spotlight games in the dark
Milo and cookies
Neville draws cartoons before bed
Pillow fights in the dormitory
Scraping of knees and elbows
There’s a fight on the concrete
Rolling around in shorts
Boys and staff in a circle
Blood and bruises
Locked up for 2 days
Loss of privileges
Caring staff
Doing what they can
Showing love but not too much
Keeping the rules
Keeping the peace
Sharing a joke
Visiting Day
