Boarder of the Week: Holly McGuigan

It is with great pleasure that we recognise Holly McGuigan as our Border of the Week. Holly has truly shone this term, particularly in the performing arts. Her performance at last week's soiree was nothing short of fabulous, showcasing her dedication and talent. We look forward to seeing more of Holly's passions in Term Four!


A night of camaraderie: Dress up as your parents

We had a fantastic time at our 'Dress Up as Your Parents' evening. It was a wonderful display of creativity and camaraderie among the boarders. The evening not only brought laughter and fun but also strengthened the bonds across our year levels. I can't believe some of the similarities between the borders and their parents! Sending a few photos through to parents was just as entertaining for them as it was for the boarders. Well done, Henry and Henrietta, for a fabulous theme night. 


Term wrap-up and House Cup update

As we wrap up this term, I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to all our boarders for their outstanding efforts and to our parents for their unwavering support. 

 

Macdonald House is currently in the lead for the inaugural House Cup, a testament to their spirit and enthusiasm. 

 

To our Year 12s, I wish you a restful break and look forward to welcoming you back for your revision week in the second week of the holidays.

 

A friendly reminder that we arrive back at the Boarding House on Sunday, 5 October. The house will be open from midday. Our first day of classes is Monday, 6 October, at the normal scheduled times. Also, it is time to dust off the summer uniform and have this ready for Term Four. There is a two-week grace period for students to prepare, which is helpful considering most of our boarders have grown during the winter months.

 

Thank you all once again, and enjoy the break!
