Boarding 

Melbourne trip

The fun and excitement continued in the Boarding House this week, with the Melbourne trip occurring on the weekend. Almost 30 boarders made their way to Melbourne to watch the Richmond v Hawthorne football match, and to do some shopping in the CBD.

The footy match was extra special for Frank Xu and Luke Pickering who hadn’t been to the MCG before and felt the energy of the Richmond supporters! 

Boarders who didn’t go to the football enjoyed time shopping in Melbourne. It was evident a lot of pocket money was spent not only on clothes, but also on food at restaurants such as Sushi Train. 

Our boarders are so blessed to have opportunities such as this, and they showed their gratitude at the end of the day. 

Casual boarding

Have you ever considered casual boarding? With our after-school programs in full-swing and our day school students taking these opportunities with determination our boarding houses can offer a comfortable place for an evening or two. When a casual boarder finishes their after-school commitment they are able to be picked up by our driver and brought back to the boarding house. Here they enjoy dinner, academic assistance, super supper (on a Wednesday), a warm and comfortable bed for the night with breakfast and lunch the following day. Casual boarding is becoming a popular choice for families and their children of all ages, and I encourage any family to consider this option for their son or daughter.

If you would like to trial boarding, experience the benefits of casual boarding or simply enquire about boarding in general please do not hesitate in contacting Susie Holcombe or myself.

Best wishes,

Andrew
