A few more pictures from our Hose Chapel and BBQ.
It's been an interesting term in Cotter House and I am pleased to say a positive one as well. The new leadership team have been working well and have risen to the challenge presented to them. These help to support their dorms, mediate, organise, assist with routines and act as role models for other boys in the house.
The term has not been without its challenges for myself as I broke my collar bone mountain biking early march. I had surgery 10 days ago and I'm pleased to say I will be back to full strength by the end of Term 2.
With the winter terms around the corner slippers and dressing gowns are a great idea for your boy to snuggle up in on those rainy nights.
Games such as cards, knuckle bones etc that the boys can quietly play are fantastic to bring along for those long winter afternoons.
Just a reminder that when your boy checks in on Sundays that we expect you to accompany him into the house. From there to Chapel. Chapel is an important part of Dilworth and we expect our parents to support the school and your boy by attending every time.
Please talk to one of the House staff if you have any concerns about your boy or information that may help us in caring for him.
Have a great holiday with your boy. Try and spend some time with him without any other children around. He needs it. Expect him to make his bed every day and set him one or two daily jobs. He does this at school, so why not at home? He knows how to use his manners at school so ensure he's using them at home. I will be checking my email throughout the holidays so feel free to contact me if there are problems or you would like me to have a chat to your boy. Sometimes kids listen to someone outside the family. I can put 48 boys to bed in 5 minutes but it can sometimes take 40 minutes with my own two girls.
