Boarders'Corner

Navigating life at Highlands House is always an exciting adventure that all the girls enjoy One of Highlands Fll borders has written about what she most enjoys most about boarding and life in Highlands:

“Life in Highlands is really fun, we do water fights, trips and we even went on a trip to Brighton!

On Saturdays and Sundays, we have a lie-in and even sometimes, have breakfast in the boarding house! We change dorms every half-term, so every time I come back, I run upstairs and check my new dorm and friends The Highlands staff always try their best to put us in a dorm with our friend’s. The only thing that can be hard sometimes is homesickness To be a full boarder is a hard thing sometimes, especially when we come back from half term or other long holidays, but the Highlands staff are always there for us. Some of us will be homesick, but when we start our week, it’ll be too busy to be homesick and on the weekend, it will almost be gone. Sometimes, we don't even want to go home anymore!” - Moana G

CarnegieAwards

In the Spring of 2023, 16 girls from the Upper Thirds began their journey shadowing the Carnegie Book Awards. They had to read books across various genres and then critique these books during our Carnegie Lunchtime Club They chose the name The God’s Toes and began reviewing the books along with other students nationally. The God’s Toes chose joint winners I Must Betray You and Medussa The Carnegie Librarian judges didn’t agree with us and chose The Blue Book of Nebo. However, the other shadower’s across the UK did agree with us and the overall choice was I Must Betray You The girls celebrated with snacks and cakes in the library
