Year 9 sleepover

Tonight was the annual Year 9 sleepover.  My aim is to let the boarders have a 'home' experience by having their friends to stay overnight with them.  The day girls are always intrigued as to what its like in the boarding house as well.  

Tonight, after supper, the whole house went to watch the drama performance 'Kingswood @ 20' in the theatre.  It was a culmination of the 20 years of shows put on in the theatre.  A celebration of everything we have achieved in this time on the stage.  It was a good way to start the night.

After this, we all skipped (literally) back to the House.  There the Year 9s set into two tubs of ice cream with chocolate button, chocolate sprinkles and jelly babies.  They then made themselves comfortable in the lounge on all the spare duvets the house owns and the ones they brought from home.  Between them they decided to watch '17 again'.  Somehow there was still room for chocolates!

Apologies for the poor quality of the pictures - I think I need to ask Santa for a new phone :)

A happy Manaho
