Welcome to Michaelmas Term It is a pleasure to welcome you to the Michaelmas Term and to share this booklet, which outlines our exciting programme of weekend boarding activities. This term’s programme offers a wide range of experiences, from adventurous outings such as an Equestrian experience, bouldering and a Ninja Warrior Challenge, to more relaxed and creative activities including a pottery and ceramics workshop, a street art workshop and wellbeing sessions. Students will also enjoy a variety of cultural and social events, from London theatre visits, a trip to Shakespeare’s Globe, and a light show at Hylands Park to community celebrations and house events. Alongside these featured trips and activities, boarders also benefit from a full and enriching weekend programme. This includes boarders’ sports, academic support, gym sessions, swimming, music practice, dance sessions, Sunday Mass, and much more, ensuring a balanced and engaging experience for all. In addition to a varied programme, we place great importance on fostering independence, confidence, and strong friendships within our boarding community. The programme has been thoughtfully designed to ensure there is something for everyone, encouraging students to try new experiences, develop their interests, and create lasting memories with their peers. Many of the photographs throughout this booklet capture moments from the last academic year, offering a glimpse into the energy and enjoyment of our activities. I encourage all boarders to embrace the opportunities ahead and make the most of what promises to be a memorable and rewarding term. Mr Samuel Carroll Director of Boarding
