Boarding Update, 2011<br />
Term Three, <strong>Week</strong> Two.<br />
Dear Parents,<br />
We have now settled back into the new school term. James<br />
Li and Nova Forsyth-McEvedy have left us but Jessiah<br />
Malik and Baylee Reriti have joined us. Bacardi the cat was<br />
very pleased to have the boys back again as well.<br />

On Sunday as a treat, the boarders who were in for the<br />
weekend had breakfast at McDonalds. We went in the<br />
school van with Mrs. Hill and Matron and I ate a Kiwi Big<br />
breakfast and others had cheeseburgers and hot<br />
chocolates or juice. After that we went back to school and I<br />
cleaned the van inside and out and got 20 merit points. The<br />
others played tag.
This week another new boy started as a weekly boarder.<br />
He is Jake Lochore from Porangahau. He knows a few<br />
boys and has settled in really well.<br />

We now have another “<strong>Hereworth</strong> Green” leather lounge<br />
suite and footrest, which we bought from Trademe. Five<br />
boys can sit on it with a squeeze. We now have four leather<br />
couches in the TV room and lots of bean bags—plenty of<br />
seats for everyone now. Mr. Exeter has claimed back his<br />
very comfortable couch which we had “on loan”.
This week 8GE is having their turn at the “boarding<br />
experience” and tomorrow the choir boys leave for the<br />
Wellington Choir trip. They have been busy packing today.<br />
Mr. Exeter and some of the Year 8 boys started making the<br />
new dorm names for the rest of the dorms. I do not know<br />
what they are yet or which dorms will be given a name.<br />
