FROM THE DIRECTOR OF BOARDING

There will be new routines and requirements to learn that have been designed to provide you with a safe, happy environment. There will also be plenty of challenges to be faced and opportunities for growth. My staff and I are here to help you embark on this new adventure and are with you all the way.

Boarding is a unique opportunity to live in a global village where you will learn to live with others, share experiences and learn from one another. You need to develop an open, honest attitude, be respectful, get involved, take responsibility for yourself, practise good manners and develop sound personal values. Boarding provides each girl with the opportunity to develop independence and the more you learn to manage yourself, the easy this transition becomes.

The boarding experience will ultimately be what you make of it. The more involved and open to these new experiences you are, the more settled and fulfilled you will feel. Communication is paramount to a happy home and we encourage everyone to speak freely and openly with staff and one another.

It is my passion that as a boarder you will have a positive, enriching experience while living at PLC Sydney and my staff and I are committed to this end.

We pray that each boarder will approach this experience with enthusiasm and a willingness to learn and get involved in all aspects of boarding and school life, thus helping build a strong, united boarding community here at PLC Sydney.

Ms Pauline Turner Director of Boarding
