Boarding News

Last Saturday night we were fortunate to view Riverfire with Somerville House, and what an amazing spectacular it was. After a very busy term, we look forward to having socials with other boarding schools in Term 4.

College Policies

All boarders will be home next week, and I kindly ask you to revisit the College Policies with your child/children while they are home.  In particular, the Uniform Policy and Boarding Technology Policy.

 

The Uniform Policy is attached for your information which outlines expectations of piercings, hair colour and fake tans.  We are seeing an increase in breaches in these areas.

 

The Technology Policy is also attached for reference.  Boarding staff have been kept very busy of late with the second devices students have in their possession and the consequences that come with this breach

End of Term

Another reminder to please advise us as soon as possible of end of term travel plans for your child if you have not to date. Our last prep will be this Thursday evening, with next week being all about end of term packing.
