BOARDING NEWS

This week Boarding was filled with exciting activities as we approach the end of term!

The girls this weekend set out on a trip into London to Westfield shopping centre! Armed with their reusable bags, they endured the treacherous task of finding the perfect outfits and accessories to fashion around during the upcoming holiday break! The drive home was filled with lots of tired shoppers and worn-out fashionistas!

Sunday’s weekly walk was unfortunately cancelled this week due to the weather; this however would put no dampening on any of their moods as they alternatively set out to Starbucks for an end of week coffee, hot chocolate, or Frappuccino!

This Sunday also saw an Easter Egg Hunt. Taking place all around the school, the girls had to search for eggs that contained letters, forming the word ‘CHOCOLATE EGG’. We offered big congratulations to our winners, Maria, Fatima, and Teresa. To continue our celebration of the Easter period, Deacon Simon invited the girls to a chapel service to discuss the importance of this period in the religious calendar. He informed the girls of the true origin of chocolate Easter eggs by sharing personal anecdotes from his childhood and told the story of Jesus’ resurrection.

The end of term was not the only fast approaching date, however. The school’s musical performance of ‘Hairspray’ was on a rapid countdown, as girls got in their last final practices; they spent all day Sunday in full cast rehearsals. All of boarding are very excited for their Tuesday and Wednesday performances. We congratulate Pretoria, Sophia, Taylor, Adriana, Marta, Mo, AJ, Olivia, Alicia, Issy, Amarie and Aimee for their hard work towards these performances!

As we look forward to next term, some exciting trips include the upcoming May bank holidays, consisting of Harry Potter World and Thorpe Park. Some other weekend trips will include Brighton, Arundel Castle and no doubt some shopping!

Unfortunately, the conclusion of this term also brings an upsetting goodbye to our long-term gap student Miss Maria, as she concludes her time at St Teresa’s and sets off back home to Ecuador! We will miss you Miss Maria, thank you for all your help and support this year.
