Reflecting tends to be something we all do naturally, but typing that reflection down is particularly difficult.\u00a0 The last three years in Robson house has been a wonderful experience and I am sad to be leaving.\u00a0 It’s like selling a car you really like because the demands of your life have changed; you like the car, it runs well, it’s fun to drive and you take pride in it.\u00a0 Then as you have the car for some time you begin to feel comfortable, it becomes personal.\u00a0 Then one day the car is almost like a part of the family.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In fact, that\u2019s exactly what it becomes.<\/p>\n

Family.<\/p>\n

Sam and Kim are simply brilliant and have been the best neighbours ‘slash’ parents ‘slash’ bosses you could ever ask for.\u00a0 The parents of Robson house are friendly, warm and always take time to chat whenever they can.\u00a0 Yet, it is the boys who are the main influence in the house and I have to say, that I could not ask for a better bunch of fellas.\u00a0 They have always been respectful, courteous, occasionally annoying, loud, fun, relaxed and always willing to stop what they are doing to see how you are.\u00a0 My friends who have had interactions with the boys from Robson, and with boys from Shore boarding in general, are always blown away with their maturity and relaxed demeanour.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Then when my old Year 9 English teacher from Newington, Mr Morris, became the head of Boarding, I though that being an Assistant Boarding Master in Robson house would be position I could hold for a very long time.<\/p>\n

Alas, life is always changing.\u00a0 I came into Robson house a single man.\u00a0 I will leave with a wife, a two-year-old girl and another little girl on the way.\u00a0 Raising a family in Robson has been great fun.\u00a0 All of the boys love to chat and play with Isabel (if she isn\u2019t too shy on the day), they always take time to ask how we are as a family, and I am sure both Joelle and Isabel will miss having so many delightful neighbours to chat to.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Now as my family and I outgrow Robson house I just want to thank everyone in the boarding community for making it such a lovely experience and I wish everyone the very best.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Cheers,
\nAdam Stocks<\/p>\n
