Is Awesome"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>I started boarding in year 12 because I was keen to get more independence, save a lot of time commuting, and really enjoy my last year at school.\u00a0 Although I was initially a little worried about getting to know everyone and fitting into the house, in hindsight it was one of the best decisions I have made.\u00a0 Having that extra time each day has meant I&#8217;ve been able to spend more time exercising and hanging out with mates while maintaining a solid amount of study.\u00a0 It has given me so much more time in the day to do things I enjoy and overall has made school a lot better.<\/p>\n<p>As a former day boy, I&#8217;ve been lucky enough to also keep my connections to Mathers and all the guys there which has been great.\u00a0 However being a part of School House has also been awesome as I have had the chance to meet all of the blokes and share laughs.\u00a0 Every day people are making me crack up and I&#8217;m always happy in the house.\u00a0 I only have a few terms left here now but I know that they will be some of my best at school.\u00a0 I&#8217;m really glad I made the decision to do boarding and I&#8217;d highly recommend any day boys consider it.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks,<br \/>\nTom Gordon<\/p>\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_3719\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3719\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption
