The new system started up by Mr Reeves. The main offenders of the penalty point givers may be:

The Book

With the new system, everybody is required to have a book to track merits and penalties, if this is forgotten, a temporary book is used just in case 'The Book' is required because if it is, and you don't have it on you, you get an instant detention. If you lose your book you go to your Head of Year for a new one, and you get a penalty point. 'The Book' has two halves, the front half is merits, the back half is penalties. Unless you are a goody goody in every lesson, you are more likely to have the book signed in the back half.
