Although interrupted by COVID, I've had a wonderful term and a half with the junior girls! We're sad to say goodbye to Lucy Cleton who's headed to full-time boarding in Bathurst but we wish her well at her new school!

I hope you all have a fantastic holiday season and I'm looking forward to seeing everyone's smiling faces next year!

While 2021 has been filled with the frustrations connected to Covid it has also been a year with fun, laughter, and growing friendships.  We say a sad goodbye to Piper, Charlotte, and Kobie,  who are all leaving the boarding house for new adventures. We wish all three great success and happiness. I will miss them especially Charlotte’s great music selection, Piper's late-night chats, and Kobie’s cheeky smile. Darcie has also made the decision to become a day student and we will miss her quiet smiles as she leaves for school each day. I also want to say a huge “thank you” to all the Senior girls as we have developed connections throughout the year. It is always hard to deal with change and as a newbie into Mount Erin, I have loved the ease with which the girls have accepted me. I am looking forward to more fun and laughter in 2022. Thank you Senior Girls for a great year!

Thank you for allowing me to care for your boys this year, I have really enjoyed being their Supervisor. The boys are so much fun and a credit to you all. It’s been lovely to watch their progress over the year. Wishing everyone a safe and happy holiday break.
