A New Chapter for Many of Us  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we reach the end of our first week, it has been wonderful to see our Boarding community<\/strong> come together and settle into the new academic year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has been particularly lovely to welcome so many boarders, staff members and parents to our community. Seeing students make new friends, reconnect with returning boarders and begin to find their routines has made for a very positive start to the year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting the year in a new leadership role has also been a very special experience for me. I have felt incredibly welcomed by the students, families and staff, and I am grateful for the warmth and support I have received during my first week. For many of us, this is the beginning of a new chapter, and it has been wonderful to start that journey together. I am really looking forward to getting to know our boarding community even better and working together to make this a happy, supportive and memorable year for our students. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first week has been a busy one, with plenty of opportunities for students to get to know each other, feel at home in boarding, socialise, play sports \u2013 the gym and padel courts have been very busy!  We are very proud of the enthusiasm and positive attitude they have shown as they begin this new chapter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This weekend, we are looking forward to our first boarding outings of the year, with a trip to Ikea to give our boarders the opportunity to personalise their own space\u2014 a great opportunity for students to spend time together, pick up anything they need and continue getting to know their new surroundings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you to our Boarding Team for such a warm start to the year, and to our families for their continued support. We are excited for the year ahead and all the experiences, friendships and opportunities it will bring! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
