boys could see the purpose of these roles as more than just a duty. They saw an opportunity to become a leader, to get to know and be able to work with boys in all year groups.” With long-serving Housemasters Chris Sellars and Andrew Levenger standing down at the end of the year, changes are afoot in both Richards and Flower’s Houses. As a result, we have recently appointed two new boarding Housemasters. Kevin Harris will join the team at Richards House, while Ben Vink will join Flower’s House, with both men bringing a considerable amount of pastoral care experience to the roles.
As we endeavour to create a supportive and positive experience for all boarders, we also aim to maintain the unique feel and culture of each House. As Darrell says, “Part of the long-term boarding plan is to have common systems in place across all Houses and a cohesive and integrated boarding curriculum that will provide boarders with a more comprehensive range of activities. While we want them to enjoy their boarding experience, we must always keep in mind the boys are being educated and prepared for life after College.’’
