Thank you to the parents who consistently come into the house to drop their boy off. It is nice to see you and important to read any notices on the board.
The school dance/social is in two weeks on Friday 24 May. This is always a highlight for the boys and a lot of fun. Here is a run down of FAQ.
1. Does my boy have to attend? Yes, it is a compulsory event and an important part in your boy's development.
2. When can I pick my boy up? The dance finishes at 9pm and checkout commences immediately from the boarding house as usual at that time.
3. Can boy boy stay at school on Friday night? In short, no. Out of town boys natually have permission to do so.
4. My boy wants to bring his cel phone. For the first time we are allowing boys to take phones to the dance. They will be locked away until the dance and then it is the boy's responsibility. They do not have to have one!
5. Can I come into the dance to watch? No. Sorry, too many parents and it's about the kids.
6. Will there be much parking? No. Because the girls who are attending are going to be picked up by their parents there will be pretty much double the amount of cars than on a usual Friday pick up. I would park on Omahu Rd and not even attempt to drive into the school. Good luck.
I will be talking to the boys about etiquette and how to behave appropriately around the girls. I will also be talking about the correct behaviour after the dance in terms of calling and texting the girls they met at the dance.
This is also an opportunity for you to talk to your boys about how boys should treat girls and how you expect your boy to act/ treat girls.
Finally here are some pictures of the boys on movie night.
Did you know that the boarding house has underfloor heat? It is always cosy and warm in winter.
