The Boarders participated in the "BSA National Boarding Week" to show their appreciation of boarding at Leweston and they enjoyed a fun-filled week of activities

At lunchtime on Monday, boarders from across the four houses participated in the 2km relay, alongside some very special guests; the boarding house dogs Levi, Rocket and Guinness Boarders passed the Leweston teddy as they progressed through the relay across the school grounds, and finished by the Italian Garden

On Wednesday night, boarders enjoyed a cosy evening by the campfire, They enjoyed s’mores and hot chocolate as the sun set over the Belvedere; before, Eleanor House member, Lio pulled her guitar out and performed some catchy campfire tunes

On Thursday afternoon Julia (International Eleanor boarder) had her last night in boarding and took the lead on cupcake decorating, showcasing varying icing techniques before the 'Great British Bake Off' began Some incredible cupcakes were created and enjoyed by all the boarders after supper

On Friday evening, boarders had the opportunity to demonstrate their musical talent, and the newly established boarding choir performed their first public performance at the concert. We even had some boarding staff appearances which were particularly entertaining! Congratulations to Hazel (International Prefect) for organising the concert
