From Our Head Boarder
HEAD BOARDER
Sage Murphy
What you want to achieve as Head Boarder?Â
As Head Boarder for 2021 I want to promote Santa Maria Boarding as a supportive and positive environment where all girls feel invited and encouraged to learn, grow and flourish. To really embrace the concept of Boarding being a home away from home. I believe that student wellbeing is at the core of this community.
My focus is on helping each and every girl in discovering and developing their strengths, so they may strive for success in all aspects of life and lead them to engaged and meaningful lives. I want to ensure that Boarding is an environment that nurtures valuable life skills, building both confidence and resilience, so that girls may grow into strong, independent women. More importantly, I hope to encourage girls across all ages to fully immerse themselves in a Boarding community that stimulates the development of students and strong relationships. Â
Our Santa Boarding Community consists of four vibrant houses, which unite girls from different backgrounds, cultures, and countries, teaching them to live and learn together. Despite the age separation, I want to promote interpersonal relationships between both junior and senior houses. Â
Combating The Attention Span Crisis In Our Students – Jennifer Oaten
It is no secret that attention spans have been steadily declining, especially among younger generations growing up immersed in digital technology. The average person’s attention span when using a digital device has plummeted from around two and a half minutes back in 2004 to just 47 seconds on average today – a dramatic 66% decrease over the past two decades.
