Out and About with Boarding

Life is busy in boarding with sports, activities, excursions and relaxation to support our girls (and their beautiful children) when they aren’t in class, but still learning and growing in different ways.

As part of our weekend boarding activities this semester, the GA team headed to Hartley’s Crocodile Adventures.

We are very grateful to Hartley’s for their continued support of the Girl Academy and the wonderful experiences they provide to our girls and our babies, who love to visit there often. Excursions are an important part of boarding life and strengthen our bonds with each other and our local community. The girls (and staff) had a fantastic day and particularly enjoyed the boat cruise. The snake show was a little challenging for some, but it definitely made for some interesting conversation over dinner!

Another great day out, (but gratefully with far less crocodiles!) was when the girls took Elicyah to the Cairns Children’s Festival. The weather was great and the Botanic Garden were stunningly beautiful. Fun was had with the mirrored ceilings which made for great, creative and crazy photos!

The Esplanade was a nice spot to cool our feet in the lagoon and check out the birds at low tide.

Of course, no day out with boarding would be complete without a well-earned ice-cream!
