Boarding News

Mrs Kathryn Searle - Head of Boarding

It was a highly successful trip marketing our wonderful school, Boarding House, and all that we offer in Hong Kong last weekend with a lot of interest for students to join us this year and next year.

 

Our Year 10 students have returned from their Leadership Camp weary but with many stories to tell of their adventures. Welcome back Year 10, we missed you. 

 

Our Year 5, 7 and 9 students are relieved that NAPLAN is over for another year. Well done to all for their efforts and preparation. 

 

Work continues on assessments due for all year level groups and preparation for upcoming exams from next Wednesday for Years 10 and 11. 

 

On Sunday 24 March, our Boarding House will represent in the Junior (Years 7 to 9) and Senior (Years 10 to 12) divisions of the boarding schools Inter-School Touch Football Competition to be held at Marist Ashgrove. Thank you to Year 11 Boarding leader and Touch Captain Reese and Year 12 Campbell House Captain Sharie for organising training sessions leading up to the competition. Both teams were victors at the inaugural competition last year. Please note all boarders are expected to attend this all-day event if not on leave.
