Dear all,

In the spirit of this spooky Halloween season, the Boarding Houses are comeptiting in a Pumpkin Carving Competition.

Without further ado, let us introduce you to our monsterous creation! On top, we have Frank, and below – with all the gnashing teeth – is Stein! This is The Frank ‘n’ Stein Monster!

House Meeting & Wellbeing

During tonight’s House Meeting, we kicked off our Wellbeing program by discussing Pillar 1, Healthy Bodies & Healthy Minds.

Our main focus today was on sleep and how getting enough sleep is incredibly beneficial for our health.

Research shows that 60% of middle school students and 70% of high school students are not getting an adequate amount of sleep on weekdays. 

The aim of this pillar is to highlight the importance of sleep and healthy sleeping routines in our day-to-day lives. A crucial part of this pillar will be to help the students by providing them with tools to get a better quality of sleep.

The boys will also be participating in the Sleep Better Challenege, where they will be trying out one of the tips we have given them to get better sleep for a week and lets us know next Wednesday.

We are looking forward to the results!
