Boarder Lines

With International Women’s Day on Wednesday, the Boarders celebrated in our traditional way of learning about a woman of historical importance in the world.  From Dolly Parton to Rosa Parks to Malala Yousafzai to Audrey Hepburn, there is always learning to be had.  Recently our Year 12 leaders attended an afternoon tea at Loreto Normanhurst where they spent time socialising with other Boarding leaders across Sydney.  It was a fantastic opportunity to meet with new and existing friends from home and spend time talking about all things Boarding!

Recently we farewelled our College Nurse, Fiona Culligan, who has been with us for over four years.  She has provided the Boarders with consistency, support and a calm demeanour.  As staff, we will miss her humour and integrity in helping out our Boarders in the best way possible.  We were unable to farewell Fiona in person but we look forward to having her over for 'schnitty' in the near future.  We welcome our new nurse, Alexandra, who starts on Monday.  As Boarder parents are aware, our nurse is a font of knowledge and care, and I am excited about building a new relationship with Alex and our community.

Last weekend the Years 7, 8 and 9 Boarders went on a trip to Elizabeth Bay.  We walked along the Harbour taking in the scenic view of the boats and water that reflected the sun.  We also had an enjoyable time playing together at the park, bonding and getting to know each other better.  It was also very pleasant to get outside on a sunny day and go for a relaxing walk with friends.  The new Year 7's and other new Boarders had a great opportunity to familiarise themselves with the area of Potts Point.  Furthermore, our trip to Elizabeth Bay was a fabulous way to bond with the other Years and a great way to start a Sunday morning.   Jessica McKelvey, Year 9
