2024 Gift Guide for Boarding House Staff

We’ve put together a “Festive Gift Guide for Boarding Staff” to give you and your boarder some ideas as we hurtle towards the end of term and holiday season. 

Boarding staff are the incredible people who support and care for our kids when we can’t be there. To show our appreciation, we’ve put together some thoughtful gift ideas from local and regional businesses.

This year’s guide includes unique finds like a personalised leather keyring, a beautiful tea towel, a sturdy pair of secateurs, and a wall calendar to brighten up their space. You might also consider a handmade trinket dish, a morning or afternoon tea platter, a coir door mat, a homemade Christmas cake, a jewellery box, or a quality cooking apron.

And don’t forget a handmade Christmas card to add that special touch. A small gift from the heart is a wonderful way to thank those who make the boarding journey a little easier.

The School of the EXPO Award celebrates genuine connection between families and schools. Voted on by families attending each event, the award recognises schools that stand out for their friendliness, presentation, and knowledge of boarding life. It’s a fun, interactive way for families – and their children – to engage with the schools in the room, while giving exhibitors valuable feedback on what resonates most. Each winning school receives a free registration for the following year’s Expo in recognition of their excellence.
