Chemane Fairleigh | Head of Girls Boarding

End of week 8 – how did that happen?!

Girls boarding has been a busy little bee hive indeed!  Over the last few weeks we have welcomed 2 new boarders into our community:

Charmaine Wakpi (Year 9)

Charmaine joins us in Year 9, from PNG.  She is following in the footsteps of her 2 sisters who were boarders here in the 1990’s!  It is wonderful to have Charmaine here with us and we look forward to following her journey through the College.

Kymi Curtis (Year 11)

Just last week, Kymi joined us from the Tablelands Region in Far North Queensland.  She is a welcomed addition to our Year 11 cohort and adds another dynamic of artistic flare and creativity!

I was delighted to be able to attend a local International Women’s Day breakfast on Friday 3^rd March with our Senior House Leaders, Molly Turnbull and Heidi Robson.  We were joined by the College Captain, Kira Holmes, and a number of female College Prefects all stylishly accompanied by Mrs Bellingham and Mrs Hobbs.  Warwick Gardens Galore was the venue for the gathering, where participants were treated to a delicious buffet-style breakfast and an inspirational talk by local woman, Fiona Smaha.  It was a wonderful way to start the day.

On the actual IWD (Sunday 8^th March) Glenbrae House opened her doors to members of JBB and SBB who came to celebrate with us in the form of a pool party.  Ms Clark very kindly organised fairy floss and snow cone machines for all students to enjoy.

Our newly purchased chairs from Bunnings made their debut around the pool. The Year 11 girls decided that a bluetooth speaker was not needed as they ‘treated’ us to hit song after hit song…..it was a lovely, relaxed afternoon.  Thanks to all the boys who made the journey over to us.
