Boarding

I am delighted to have been appointed as the new Head of Boarding at PLC and to be joining such a wonderful boarding community.

In coming to PLC, I bring many years of experience working with young people in a range of settings. I am a qualified teacher and was most recently a Year Level Coordinator for over 150 students.

Student wellbeing is my primary area of interest. I feel passionately about nurturing the development of young women so that they can become confident adults who have a positive impact on the people and world around them.

I understand that joining the Boarding House is a significant experience for families. Our Boarding House is a home away from home for our girls where they can have fun, feel safe and are well cared for. As the year progresses, I continue to learn more about our girls as individuals and I am really enjoying discovering their personalities, interests, and goals.

I have enjoyed a really positive start and I look forward to continuing to build strong connections with our girls and their families in the years to come.

Boarders’ Parents’ Association

On Thursday 27th January, the Boarders’ Parents’ Association had a wonderful start-of-year meeting with all the new boarders’ parents’ as well as College Principal, Mrs Penberthy, Deputy Principals Mrs Williams and Mrs Saffin and the new Head of Boarding, Ms Munro.

Normally, the BPA AGM is held at this meeting. However, it was rescheduled this year to allow more overseas parents to join. Those families in attendance enjoyed a light lunch together and shared many stories of their journey to PLC.

Another event postponed in 2022 was the College Twilight Picnic. This had a flow-on effect of reducing the BPA’s fundraising for 2022 as it would normally represent the group’s primary fundraiser.

However, with funds already made available, last year the BPA purchased numerous items including new ‘egg chairs’, an X-Box and a drum kit, leaving the Boarding House well equipped for relaxation and socialising.

The BPA looks forward to working with Ms Amy Munro as she settles into her new role at the PLC Boarding House.
