Boarding Life<br />
The Big Weekend In<br />
The school theme this year is ‘Capture the Moment’ and that is certainly what our boarding<br />
community did this year to celebrate ‘The Big Weekend In’.<br />
A top priority in term one is to settle our new girls in. Commencing boarding is a huge<br />
adjustment. New routines, expectations, and relationships can all provide a steep learning<br />
curve for our newest boarders. ‘The Big Weekend In’ is all about inclusion. This time together,<br />
encourages the girls to have fun, to strengthen bonds, and for our new girls to get to know<br />
the staff and their peers in a relaxed, enjoyable environment.<br />
Organised by our Year 13 leaders, Lucy Green and Sophia Neill, this year ‘The Big Weekend<br />
In’ was held on March 3 rd and 4 th . Friday night we began the festivities with dinner, chapel, and<br />
a slumber party movie to finish the night off. Saturday was spent at ‘The Groynes'. Kayaking,<br />
paddle boating, tug of war, egg and spoon races, three legged races, tee-ball, and a lovely BBQ<br />
lunch helped us to capture many joyous moments of laughter, energy, and enthusiasm as we<br />
embark on our <strong>2017</strong> boarding journey together.<br />
