Exeat Weekend
The boarding community is enjoying an exeat weekend. However, this is only a long weekend for St Augustine’s students, as at St Monica’s it's a normal school day on Monday. Boarding residences will reopen at 3pm on Sunday afternoon for the girls, with a 6pm dinner for those who have returned. The girls are reminded about the 8pm deadline to be back in residence on Sunday night. If returning Monday morning, families are asked to please let Mrs Duffy know well in advance.
