Nailing Homesickness
Each year we do a summer series for our incoming boarders called ‘Nailing Homesickness’ where I chat with current boarders from across Australia. We know that the schools, and friends will have sage advice for our kids before they head off – everyone really wanting to help alleviate the nerves of our new boarders.
But truly, who best to speak to than the boarders themselves? Our mission is to help our new boarders for 2025 feel that little bit more confident about heading off. I ask the students the same 5 questions for each interview, and you’ll find that each of them have different insights to offer. There are such wise and heartfelt tips about how to cope with the feelings of homesickness along with advice on settling in at your new boarding school.
