BOARDING 2015 Boarding Awards Dinner

The 11th Annual Boarding Awards Dinner was a night to celebrate the opportunities and successes in boarding for the year.

The guest speaker was Old Boy Josh Scott who boarded in Flower’s House from 1993 to 1996. Josh is the founder of the craft beer company Moa Beer, one of the first to be opened in New Zealand. Josh talked about his time in Flower’s House and how he transferred some of the things he learnt in boarding into his successful business. He said that, while boarding did not define him, it had certainly helped him in the pathways his life had gone down since leaving College.
