BLOSSOMING CAMPUS: The natural tranquility on campus is responding to the fine weather with blossoms, birdsong and verdant splendour everywhere you look!
A VIBRANT ONLINE FAMILY News as boarding goes temporarily online One noticeable development this week is how our boarding community is starting to get more comfortable with the opportunities that are available to stay together online - with many creative and entertaining entries onto our boarding forums and some thoroughly entertaining antics in our 'Virtual Boarding House' meetings this week. The vibrant atmosphere in our online boarding world continues to offer support, laughter and entertainment, and has become the highlight of the working week for the houseparents on campus. It is a solace to us in these strange times that technology allows us to remain close and supportive despite the physical distance between us.
