A Bright and Festive Term 4 in Boarding

Term 4 is always such a lovely time in boarding. The days are longer, the weather is warmer, and weekends are filled with beach trips and the first whispers of Christmas shopping. Speaking of Christmas, the BoHo is once again sparkling with lights and our signature candy-cane theme, bringing a little festive magic into every corner of the house.

With our Year 12s home enjoying Schoolies, the boarding house feels quieter, but the term certainly hasn’t slowed down. Our boarders have continued to shine through outstanding performances and achievements, and our tennis boarders have been smashing it on the court as always. One of our favourite moments this term was heading out as a boarding family to see the sequel to Wicked—the perfect excuse for popcorn, laughter, and time together.

We’re looking forward to finishing the year with our Christmas Party on the final night of boarding, complete with a Summer Christmas Festive Feast, Secret Santa, and plenty of carolling fun.

As we pause and reflect on the year, it’s clear how many life lessons, challenges, surprises, and joyful moments we’ve shared. Boarding truly becomes a home away from home—a place where the kids learn to live with others, grow through the hard days, and celebrate the good ones. The fun times, the hard work, the tears and the laughter all weave together into something really special.
