Cambridge Scholars' Program

 

It is hard to believe the Cambridge Scholars’ Program is coming to an end and we will be returning home next week. We are very proud to see how our girls have grown and pushed themselves academically and socially in the University of Cambridge environment. They have enjoyed the activities and UK sightseeing as well.

 

Bunkyo High School Visit

 

On Monday, we will farewell our visiting Bunkyo High School Japanese students who have shared their enthusiasm and culture with our boarders over the past two weeks. Thank you to our boarders for sharing their home with our visitors and taking care of them.

Pymble Ladies' College National Exchange Program

On Sunday 13 August we will welcome Year 8 students into boarding from Pymble Ladies’ College in Sydney, as part of the National Exchange Program. Our visitors will experience Clayfield College life and then return to Sydney on Wednesday 16 August with three of our Year 8 boarders, and day students, who will in return experience Pymble life until Saturday 19 August.

 

Thank you Dr Cousins and Mrs Cousins for baking and delivering a sweet surprise to our boarders last Sunday. We appreciate your endless support of baking and welcome your special deliveries anytime.
