Monday night's in Northdown are with Ms Clarke. Using her artistic skills together with Mrs Bridgwater, we now have a chalkboard in the kitchen! All set for recipies and notices!!

TV room was finished just in time for the quiet weekend....last night was film night! Might have to raid the library for some more books for the shelves!

All set for the international dinner! Happy half term....almost!!

It's a wrap! Finished our first term of being open....the house seems very quiet now! Happy half term, see you in 2-weeks!

Photos from a few of the girls home for half term! The house is very quiet without you all, see you soon!

And we're all back... It's lovely to have a noisy bustling house again!

Welcome Mrs Whelan and her balloon skills to the Northdown staff team! Balloon spiders and pumpkins all set for Saint Monica Boarding House coming trick or treating tomorrow🎃

Setting up for our body shop party! Relaxing boarding life 😊😊

Great night learning all about Body Shop and skin care regimes! Thank you Dee Browne for coming in and thank you Lisa Cook for organising it!

Whilst the rest of the house are at the theatre starring for the last time in Jane Eyre we are busy cooking dinner! Tonight it's Italian themed come dine with Northdown- lasagne, salad, tiramisu and not so Italian chocolate chip cookies and gelato!!

Great company and chatter around the table tonight....Looking forward to tiramisu for breakfast!! Exams were the main focal point so we've left you a motivational quote on the chalkboard!

It's beginning to feel alot like Christmas🎄🎶 We ordered so much from our body shop party that we've managed to get a much coveted body shop advent calendar!!!!

Thank you Miss Clarke for finishing our Matisse inspired kitchen chalkboard.

They're here....Northdown hoodies🥰

"Do we have any Christmas decorations for the house, Miss?" 🤔 Hmmm.... What might might be happening this weekend, even though it is still November!?!?

We had a great time at the Stratton & Northdown Christmas Party last night! And at long last Mrs W got her photo on the stairs!

It's a wrap....our first term is complete! Safe travels and a Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄

Fajitas night in Northdown! Another student meal added to the cooking repertoire, uni life skills in development! Next challenge sees a return to my youth, watch this space -Northdown and Stratton's Ready, Steady, Cook coming soon🤔😄

Now we have somewhere to hang Christmas stockings!! Yes, I have mentioned Christmas, and yes, I know it's January! #finishingtouches #homefromhome
