Objects of Substance- 2002 Boarders’ Plaque

On stage (L-R): Rosie Walden, Victoria Fleming, Breanna Ryan, Holly Clarke Annabelle Vaughan, Hope Adams, Mrs Elvie Parsons

For Breanna Ryan, “(E)ach year, our presence got smaller and smaller, and the daily life of the school encroached more and more on our home. At times this was confronting - like walking from the showers to our dorms in our towels before school and seeing a teacher (not fun for either of us!). And other times, we took full advantage of it, sneaking into the drama department's costumes and playing dress-ups on a Saturday night!” Personalities and circumstances made this life difficult at times, for all. However, Breanna feels that “(M)uch of the grit I have required as I have grown up, I can trace back to that boarding house.”
