What is your role at summer boarding courses?<\/h3>\n

Activities Manager at Canford<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the average day like at summer school?<\/h3>\n

Average day? I truly don\u2019t think any two days were the same! An \u2018average\u2019 day consisted of the students trying new activities, meeting new friends, and overall getting more comfortable with being in a new country. It was heartwarming to see students who were very nervous at first really grow into themselves over the course of their summer, and make some lifelong friends.<\/p>\n

What have you enjoyed the most about working with Summer Boarding Courses?<\/h3>\n

Working with such wonderful people. Having such a great team who really threw themselves into summer school was so great to see. There was so much support and excitement within the team, they all made my summer.<\/p>\n

What advice would you give a staff member going into their first summer with Summer Boarding courses?<\/h3>\n

If the staff are having fun, the students will be having fun!<\/p>\n

Make sure to approach everything as a team, and to be as collaborative as possible. This way everyone has a voice into what they will be doing, and some really great, creative activities will flourish.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s your favourite summer school memory?<\/h3>\n

SPLASH DOWN.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t participate in many of the evening events, but I am so glad I decided to go to splashdown.\u00a0 Hands down my favourite summer school memory.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
