Middle School Residence: Bye to 2019 from Kim Whetters
As we farewell our year 8’s on Speech Night I know that I will have feelings of pride as I reflect on those young boys that arrived 2 years earlier unsure of everything and everyone in their new life in boarding. Those same boys have dealt with all the challenges of boarding life and are now confident and comfortable in themselves and in the boarding house that they now call home.
As the Year 8’s settle into the year 9 house in the new year and face the new challenges of senior school, the year 7’s will become the ‘big boys’ of the 6/7/8 House and become role models for our new boys entering the house for the first time.
I thank Marcus and Scott for all their wonderful work and commitment to the wellbeing of everyone in the house, and I look forward to 2020 with enthusiasm and anticipation to welcome both new and returning boys, parents and staff into our boarding community.
Merry Christmas to all and have a safe and enjoyable holiday break.
