Barry House Weekdays and Weekends

Barry House has kept busy on weekends with a range of activities on Saturday nights and Sundays.  The boys were treated to a gelato jackpot one Sunday afternoon early this term, a nice way to complement the lamb chop and sausage bonanza in the lead-up earlier.  Another Sunday afternoon saw the Barry House ping-pong tournament, with the Year 11s blitzing the field in the quest for the Pizza Prize, while everyone was treated to Tim Tams and ice cream as an afternoon treat as well.  On another Saturday evening, taco night led into our movie evening that went well past Lights Out, while other Saturday night cooking opportunities are reported elsewhere in this newsletter. 

One magnificent Sunday afternoon in March, Balmoral Beach was calling, and so the boys hit the water for the afternoon before getting back for more swimming in the Grant Centre before dinner.  On other occasions, when the weather might not be as good, it can be a great opportunity to enjoy one another’s company on another level.  Recently, on a “Device-Free Sunday” with phones in lock-up, after our bacon and egg BBQ cook-up, the House settled into a rainy afternoon under doonas on the couches enjoying a movie.  A great afternoon was also had by all after the GPS Head of the River when we joined up with School House for a giant water slide afternoon on the Graythwaite slope, before Betty’s Burgers beckoned later that night as a treat in front of the footy after a big day out.
