Boarderlines

Last Sunday years 7, 8 and 9 traveled to Carriageworks at Eveleigh to  join in the family day excitement of the Sydney Writers Festival. There were a lot of workshops to call into but the girls really enjoyed working on the Art and Craft Wall and badge making.

The Boarder of the Week award was introduced on Wednesday evening at dinner. The girls are asked to observe the behaviours of others that demonstrate the values of the Sisters of Charity - hope, respect, justice, service to the poor and generosity of spirit. They are 

asked to nominate a fellow boarder who they believe exemplifies these values. The nominations will be reviewed and a worthy recipient identified.  The Boarder of the Week will receive a Certificate and get a choice of a special treat.  The first Boarder to earn the title of Boarder of the Week was Zara Brown (year 8) for her consideration of the younger boarders who were in sick bay. Zara took morning tea and lunch to these girls.  She wasn’t asked to do it.  Zara saw a need and acted with a deep generosity of spirit.

On the year 10/11/12 floor, Coordinator Jemima has introduced Thankful Thursday. The girls are encouraged to write a kind message and place it in another girls envelope.
