Boarding Update

Boarders Cocktail Parties

What no doubt is one of the highlights for the year, the Boarder Cocktail Parties last Friday evening were a roaring success. With the preparations for the evening taking place over months, the celebrations were superb. I was privileged to be able to enjoy all four House events. The clear common thread amongst all the Houses was that a wonderful feeling and spirit existed. The speeches delivered by the boys highlighted the wonderful times they enjoyed, cared for by the staff in charge, flourished in the company of their friends and genuinely enjoyed time together. Many highlighted that friendships formed here would last a lifetime.

Broderick Gillawarna

Great stuff from the Year 10 boys last week engaging with the Broderick-Gillawarna School, which caters for students with disabilities. Joining Gillespie House, the boys assisted the school in caring for the students who have personalised learning plans central to their development.

Year 12 Chapel Service

We enjoyed a magnificent Sunday morning for the Year 12 Chapel Service. It was wonderful to have our boys and families together again one final time in the Chapel to celebrate their journey together before a lovely morning tea on the lawn.

Campbell Brown Memorial Award for Citizenship

On 6 September, Mr Geoffrey Brown, along with his family and friends, connected with Hodges House roll call through Zoom for a special occasion – the presentation of the Campbell Brown Memorial Award. This award serves as a touching tribute to Mr Brown’s son, who tragically lost his life in an ultra-light plane accident in the Northern Territory back in 2008.

Each year, the Campbell Brown Memorial Award is presented to a deserving Year 11 student who embodies good character and behaviour, actively engages in a diverse range of activities within and beyond the Boarding Community and displays moral courage. This award is made possible through the generosity of the Brown family.

In 2023, we congratulate Angus Reardon (Year 11HS1), the worthy recipient of the award.

Despite nearing the end of Term, it was certainly a busy week across the Boarding School. We started this week by acknowledging the contribution that Ben Muffet, Jack Binnie and Alex Bishop have made to Robson House during their time here at Shore. These fantastic young men received their House Colours. Well done, boys.
