Boarding Bulletin
A Place to Belong
Boarding has been a little quieter this week while our Year 9 and 10 students are away at camp. We look forward to welcoming them back on Friday and hearing about their experiences.
Staffing Update
Saxon McGregor, our Boarding Co-ordinator for Boys, will leave Clayfield College this week to take up a promotion with his law firm’s Perth office. We thank Saxon for his dedication and support of our boys since the beginning of the year and wish him every success in his new role.
Belle Archer will begin supporting our boys on Sunday evening, continuing the strong standard of care established by Saxon.
