Awards Night and International Dinner – Portugal!

Tonight was a very special night where we took a moment to celebrate the great achievements and contributions of our boarders through the Awards Night Assembly. The three categories for recognition were the Boarding Life Award, Boarding Activity Award, and Boarding Academic Award. Julia won the Boarding Life Award for embodying the RISE values, while Alessia won the Boarding Activity Award for her dedication to extracurricular sports, and Eve won the Boarding Academic Award for her high grades. We are so proud of all of our boarders and are excited for the second awards night later in the year to celebrate their accomplishments once more!

We also were treated to another International Dinner, which was Portuguese-themed—a delicious celebration of flavors from the Iberian Peninsula! The menu featured Bread with Chorizo, Shrimp Rissoles, Cod Squabs, Portuguese Roast Chicken, and potatoes. To top it off, we had a very classic Portuguese dessert—Pastel de Natas, a crispy tart-shaped dessert with a creamy custard filling. At Terray, we always look forward to International Dinners each Wednesday, excitedly awaiting the opportunity to try different foods from around the world.

Wellbeing Pillars – Online safety 📳

As part of the Wellbeing Program in boarding, there are four pillars focusing on various aspects that impact the development and safety of our students. This term, the focus was on Online Safety. To conclude the term, our amazing House Tutor, Ms. Sophie, delivered a highly informative session on the topic of sextortion, researched by Mr. Salvatore.

Looking ahead, keep an eye on the second pillar, which will focus on Protecting Against Bullying and Respecting Diversity.

Best wishes,

Villa Terray team 🩵
