The Last Supper

As School House Housemaster, one of the unique opportunities I get each year, is to take Yr 12 out to dinner at a local restaurant.  Unfortunately, due to Covid-19, there is a restriction on numbers.  To over come this obstacle, I chose to spit the boys and staff into two groups and conduct this over two nights.  I must admit it was very difficult for me to attend my favourite Thai restaurant two nights in a row but that’s the kind of House Master I am…….  Selfless!

As parents we hope that we get it right most of the times.  As boarding staff, the odds are a bit higher and we hope that we get it right most of the time too….  And if we don’t we blame the boy’s genetics but last Monday & Tuesday night was confirmation we are doing OK.  And what was my gauge, simple, “Conversation”.  Did I gauge it on what we spoke about… no.  Was it the importance of the subjects we spoke about….  no ……..  it was simply the ease at which conversation flowed about nothing!

The Tutors and Boarding staff would like to thank the SL Yr 12 of 2020 for their presence and leadership, it was outstanding! ……….  And the duck in plum sauce was pretty good too.
