Robson House Boarding

As the staff and boys move into the end of another busy term, I just wanted to send information about ideas of boarding in Robson House.  A few weeks ago, Will Kemp arrived at our door to say that his surf board had been broken.  Naturally, I was very concerned so I went down to the kitchen and all the boarders from Robson were sitting and standing quietly.  All of a sudden, they were singing happy birthday (it must have been for Oli Wilson and me).  For a Housemaster who has been in Robson for 7 years, this was an absolute delight (my thought is Kim organised the lot).  It is a reflection of what we as parents aim to do and that is bring up young men who are happy, healthy and safe and then look back at their time at school, when they are 40 and represent fine young me.

As you all know, I sent a previous email with regards to last weekend.  Heather Foord, Kim and I visited Griffith and Wagga Wagga for a Boarding Expo.  We were thrilled to catch up with past parents who are keen to send their son(s) to Shore, along with other parents who have only heard about the School.  We had about 16 inquiries which is really exciting along with two dinners, one in Griffith and the other in Wagga Wagga.  These are certainly great opportunities to catch up and give them an insight into Shore boarding. 

Finally, all the boarding staff really enjoy our times with these boys, from a chat to cooking food and having a fire pit all around the House.  Thank you for the fine effort you are doing raising these young men.
