As we come to the end of a busy and enjoyable second term, it has been great to see so many positive moments in boarding.Aparticular highlight was our Battle of the Beach competition, where students showed fantastic teamwork, enthusiasm, and house spirit.

We are also delighted to welcome four new boarders to the community, who have settled in well and been warmly supported by their peers.

This term has also seen the completion of our boarding leadership process, with applications, interviews, and final selections now confirmed.Thank you to all those that applied and congratulations to those who have been appointed, we look forward to seeing them take on their roles and make a positive contribution to boarding life.

We hope all our boarders enjoy a well-earned Spring break and look forward to welcoming everyone back for the final term.

Battle of the Beaches has already delivered two exciting events this term, with full house participation in both.The competition began with a high-energy dodgeball tournament, followed by a creative and engaging real-life version of Snakes and Ladders, where students became the pieces in a life-sized board game.

Looking ahead toTerm 3, there is still everything to play for. Upcoming events include football and the much-anticipated finale of Battle of the Bands, which promises to be a highlight of the competition.

At present,Yongduam sit in 4th place, but with key events still to come, there is plenty of opportunity to climb the leaderboard.
