Boarding at Calrossy

What a fantastic start to Boarding in 2024.  With our new boarders from Years 7 to 11 joining the school community, we are pleased to see our houses bustling with activity and noise.  With our Boarder Prefects and Buddies working hard at making our new boarders feel at home we are so very happy to have the term underway.

Term 1, Wk 1 - Closed Weekend

This past weekend saw the first of the four closed weekends over 2024 and we are pleased to report that it was a roaring success.  Our Boarders were involved in so many activities, from Park Run, Ten-Pin Bowling, Treasure Hunts, Boarder Buddy activities, Year 12 hosting a Boarders Dance to the very necessary water activities of Pool and the Giant Water Slides at BSC and Simpson.  Whilst the weather was definitely on the warmer side, the boarders certainly did not let that stop them – Photos are on the Boarding Hub page.

A big thank you to all our families in supporting this and assisting in making it possible – It is very much appreciated.

Boarder Representatives Years 7-11

This week will see the democratic process in action with the election of our Boarder Representatives from our boys and girls in Yrs 7-11.  Our Boarder Prefects will be working closely with this group in ensuring that our Boarders have a voice into what is happening here at Calrossy.  Watch this space!

LEAVE WEEKEND – Wk 5, Friday 1st March – Monday 4th March.

Boarding Houses will close on Friday 1st of March for our first Leave Weekend of the year.  Can we please ask that all families confirm their arrangements for the Leave Weekend via REACH – lodge appropriate Leave.
