The start of 2022 has been a busy and fulfilling time in Walker House. I would like to congratulate every person in the Walker House Community. Although the risks of COVID still exist, we continue to run the house as home-like as possible. Students have taken great responsibility and maintained diligence in protecting the health and safety of each other, while remembering to sanitise and wear a mask.
As the Director of Boarding, the start of the year is always an exciting time as I get to witness the new and returning boarders build and strengthen relationships as they spend time in the house together. I am aware that starting boarding for the first time can be a challenging time, but I can happily report they are all doing an amazing job.
This term we have celebrated a number of birthdays and enjoyed a fun games night together and had multiple trips to the beach after school and other great excursions on the weekends such as mountain walks, rock climbing and ice-cream outings. A number of boarding students also helped pack 4,000 individual Rapid Antigen Test kits that were sent home to the wider school community showing great service for the school.
