Meet Miss Arthur, our Head of Boarding
Miss Arthur is the heart of our boarding community. With her calm presence, big smile, and endless enthusiasm, she makes the boarding house feel like a true home away from home. Whether she is checking in on everyone after prep, organising weekend fun, or sharing a laugh in the common room, Miss Arthur is always there to support, encourage, and cheer on every boarder.
She believes boarding should be a place where students feel safe, valued, and able to be themselves, and she works every day to make that happen. From the little moments to the big milestones, Miss Arthur is right alongside our boarders, helping create the memories that make boarding life so special.
She is also best friends with Boardington Bear, who joins her on many of her adventures around the House.
