Boarding Angels
Boarding Angels are awarded to girls who have shown
their acceptance of the school motto, Non Nobis Solum -
Not for Ourselves Alone, in their actions and words.
These significant awards are presented to boarders at their
Chapel service each Thursday evening.
Carrington Miller (Year 7, McCulloch House), Tiffany
Roberts (Year 10, Whitby House) and Courtney Miller
(Year 12, Darragh House) have been awarded a boarding
angel for their care and consideration of other people in
our boarding community.

Debbie Donovan enjoys sharing her love of cooking and food
preparation and there is no shortage of boarders lining up to join
in the fun.
As a boarding staff member working in McCulloch House,
Mrs Donovan offers cooking lessons and demonstrations for the
girls on an occasional basis during weekends.
The focus on cuisines is a spontaneous one as Mrs Donovan
hears what foods are of interest to the boarders and the
availability of fresh produce.
At the start of Term 1, sushi was on the menu and boarders
are pictured learning the art of this ancient Japanese style of
presenting rice, fish and vegetable delicacies.
The sushi making was very interesting. I have never made sushi
before and after we had made a sushi roll, it was very tasty. The
seaweed had an interesting dry texture and the rice was very
sticky and the result in the end was delicious!

I was involved in the sushi making and I really enjoyed making
it. We had a choice of what we wanted to put on the rice. A big
thanks to Mrs Donovan for helping us out.

The sushi rolling antics proved so popular that Head of Darragh 11,
Mrs Gayle Churchill, decided to purchase sushi-making implements
and ingredients for the Year 11 boarders.
