Relationships in Boarding schools can ....
- Create positive, lifelong relationships
- Bring confidence & security
- Allow students to develop their confidence & life potential
- Help develop identity
Boarding develops positive, lifelong relationships between students, as well as students and the staff of their school. These relationships are the heart of a boarding community and are the source of the confidence and security necessary for students to develop their personal capacity and identity. Mentors in boarding can also be powerful agents for change, sowing seeds in a boarder’s mind of ‘what you could be’.
