Boarding Bulletin
Mrs Kathryn Searle - Head of Boarding
2026 Leadership
On Monday evening, seven Year 11 candidates presented their initiatives to all boarders at dinner for 2026 Boarding Captaincy.
All applicants talked with warmth and sincerity about their life as boarders, dealing with homesickness, and how older students in boarding helped them through hard times when they joined boarding. They will, as leaders of the Boarding House, continue this support. Boarding truly is a place of belonging, and we look forward to finding out in Term 4 who will be leading our boarders in 2026.
Boarding Prep and Exams
Our boarders are working hard in Prep each night to meet assessment deadlines and study for upcoming block exams. Thank you to Ms Lennon and Dr G who are regulars in our Boarding House assisting boarders at Prep time.
A reminder that our boarders in Years 10 to 12 will only attend school for exams during their block exam timetable.
