Here we are another episode of Destination Boarding - The Podcast, and this one is part of our Summit Series where we expand on the panel discussions we had for our Australian Boarding Schools Summit.
One of those topics was 'Big or Small, does size really matter when it comes to boarding cohorts?'
We speak to families often about this very topic, and there’s obviously pro’s and con’s for both. Ultimately, it comes down to you and your child. Understanding what’s best for their personality.
In this episode, we’re speaking with Director of Boarding at Assumption College, Danniella Yarman-Lalda about their boarding community. Assumption is a large school with a small boarding cohort and you’ll hear in this chat the opportunities that affords the students that are part of that boarding family.
I have a confession to make here. This is one of the first recordings I’ve done on a new platform and I got a bit cocky thinking I didn’t have to sit in my studio to record anymore…. Well my very noisy doggy thought this was too exciting and managed to yap her way through most of it. It was distracting for me, and I lost my train of thought a couple of times, but I also didn’t want to stop and lose the valuable points that Danniella was making. Sometimes when you do that it’s just not the same the second time round.
This is a great conversation to listen to if you are wondering how smaller boarding schools ensure that their boarders are not lost in the throng of day students and it absolutely highlights the benefits of smaller boarding houses for those that are wondering.
