This term has been as busy as every in the boarding houses. The roller disco was a brilliant event. There were lights, music and of lots of roller-skates! After grabbing a handful of tuck, the boarders made their way towards the Wyatt Hall, where the roller disco crew had already set up everything. After putting on the safety gear and agreeing the rules, we were up on our feet (although not for long!) and off skating, doing the limbo and playing tag. Bonfire night was another memorable night, with incredible fireworks, a hog roast for dinner and loud music with dancing. We all loved watching the fireworks and then there was a (planned) visit from the fire engine! After this fun, we all were given a brownie with strawberries and another chance to enjoy the dance music. In addition, some of the boarders have spent a few evenings this term over at the Cranleigh School boarding houses. They have enjoyed seeing what boarding is like in a Senior School and they can’t wait to be old enough to join in. Forthcoming events include the annual Boarders’ Christmas Dinner and a trip to Cranleigh Arts Centre next term.
“I like that at boarding you get sweets on Wednesdays, and that we get to watch movies and pick our dinner choices on Thursdays.” “I enjoy boarding because I get to see my friends and the food is very tasty. The activities are great fun and the sweets on Wednesdays are really nice.” “I would recommend boarding because it is so fun. The staff are all really nice and we play many fun games!” “It is fun because you get to spend lots of time with your friends.” “I enjoy boarding because the matrons are really nice and if you are worried they are really comforting. My friends and I have the best nights together!” “I would definitely recommend boarding, being a full time boarder myself. The environment is so nice to be in and everyone looks after you well. They are all so friendly.”
