School House & HSC you later
Having now spent almost a year boarding at Shore, I’m convinced it is the best decision I’ve ever made. Throughout the year I have loved being part of a community where everyone works hard but also looks out for each other. It has made exams that little less stressful and been a heap of fun along the way. In particular over the HSC period it has been incredibly helpful to have access to tutors and the Boarding House Masters to help study. Even when they aren’t around, I’ve been able to knock on mate’s doors and ask them for a hand. Staying in the school has also meant I’ve been able to access the library for help from teachers and more space and it’s been great to have access to the new gym for study breaks. While it feels good to be finishing up the HSC, it’s been a once in a lifetime experience boarding at Shore and I don’t want it to be over. It has only been a year, but I’ve made friendships that will last a lifetime and memories I’ll never forget.
