Director of Boarding
Meet Mike Symons, Churchie’s new Director of Boarding, bringing 15 years of experience and passion to his role.
At the beginning of Term 3, the Churchie community welcomed new Director of Boarding Mike Symons. Mike brings a wealth of experience and dedication to his role, having spent 15 years working at The King’s School in Sydney as an inspiring educator, teaching English, drama and philosophy.
At The King’s School, Mike served for six years as a senior boarding housemaster, providing him with an exceptional understanding of the unique opportunities and challenges of boarding life.
During his first six months at Churchie, Mike has enjoyed getting to know our boarders and their families and has found the school community to be warm and welcoming. He sees his role as a pivotal opportunity to give boarding students a true home away from home.
‘The most enjoyable parts of each day are seeing the boys in School House for breakfast and getting to know our parents, who entrust the care of their lads to us. It was also lovely to have so many families welcome me, Kate and our three children when we arrived,’ Mike said.
Under Mike’s leadership and unwavering commitment to creating a nurturing and supportive environment for all boarders, Churchie’s thriving boarding community will continue to grow.
‘We have such a wonderful team in boarding, and we are working together to better help the boys at Churchie make the most out of their time while they are here,’ Mike said.
