KAREN MCDONALD – Sylvester House Boarding Supervisor
How long have you been a boarding supervisor?
I have been a Boarding Supervisor for over five years.
What do you love about this role?
There is a lot of things I love about my role as a Boarding Supervisor. I especially love that I am able to nurture the girls on their journey of self-discovery and personal growth while they are in Boarding. This is both a  privilege and an honour that I feel very fortunate to have been given.
 What is your favourite book?
One of my favourite books is Memoirs of a Geisha by an American author Arthur Golden. It is a historical fiction novel set during and after World War ll.
