SENIOR BOYS

With Term 3 coming to an end, it is worth reflecting on the first full term this year in boarding at Mount Erin where the Senior Boys have continued to take the COVID-19 restrictions in their stride, to build a stronger sense of community and to find ways to enjoy their time in boarding.
