From The Head of Boarding: Week 8, Term 4, 2020
BOARDING VALUES
Trust, respect and kindness.
BOARDING MOTTO
“Open doors, hearts and minds”
Thank you to all in our great Boarding Community for your support, understanding and kindness this year. It has been a great pleasure and privilege as Boarding staff to care, support and guide your daughters while they are in Boarding. Wishing you a peace filled summer break.
We look forward to seeing our new boarders and Year 12 Boarding Councillors on Sunday 31 January from 2.00 pm and all current boarders from 2.00 pm on Monday 1 February.
ORIENTATION
Our Boarding Orientation Day was such a great day. We had so many in our community contribute to the many and varied workshops and activities that took place throughout the day. The new 2021 boarders and their parents loved the day. They all made new friends and are feeling welcome, comfortable, and excited about their time as part of this great community.
RENOVATIONS
Ursula House renovations are going really well. There are lots of tradies working around each other, getting the renovation really moving. We cannot wait for next year when all of the houses will have beautiful new rooms for our girls.

Combating The Attention Span Crisis In Our Students – Jennifer Oaten
It is no secret that attention spans have been steadily declining, especially among younger generations growing up immersed in digital technology. The average person’s attention span when using a digital device has plummeted from around two and a half minutes back in 2004 to just 47 seconds on average today – a dramatic 66% decrease over the past two decades.
