From the Director of Boarding

It was fantastic to spend time out in the community last week throughout NSW. Prateek Kripal and I embarked on a road trip, travelling to towns in NSW; firstly heading to Cooma, where we were joined by Lee and Sue MacMaster, the onto Griffith and Wagga Wagga for Boarding Expo’s and our Past, Present and Future Families events. 

Thank you to the following families for spending time with us: McGufficke, Platts, Haylock, Rogers, Dixon, Quodling, Villata, Star, Shelton, Salvestro, Carroll, Stimson and Kelly.

A massive thank you to the Villata (Class of 2017) and Carroll Families (current) for; hosting us, arranging dinners and putting a roof over our heads and to Chris Kelly for assisting at the Wagga expo. 

A big shout out to Lachlan McGufficke (Year 12) and Joshua Platts (Year 11) for representing the College and Boarding at the Cooma dinner.

The Boarding School Expos tour was a wonderful experience. It allowed and Prateek and myself the opportunity to meet and speak with, many prospective parents. We look forward to building fruitful relationships with families from these regions and hopefully joining this wonderful College in the future.
