Our Junior Girls have enjoyed spending quality time together after their evening Academic Enrichment Program. They all get 30 minutes before supper starts where a lot of the girls have enjoyed playing board games, cards, completing puzzles or just lying on bean bags watching some TV. These have been great activities to create an opportunity for the girls to bond and get to know each other, plus have a laugh!

Maddie Fucheck is our awesome GAP Assistant from Manhattan, New York City, USA. She is working with our senior girls. Her favorite food is Pizza and her favorite colour is Liliac Purple. Maddie's goal for 2019 is to try one new thing everyday. If she could invite 3 famous people over for dinner in the boarding house, she would invite; Michelle Obama, Drake and Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Maddie will return to University after completing her 6 months here at Mt Erin Boarding House.
