SMUS was filled with excitement this week as new boarders moved in, and classes commenced. From WEB Leaders at the Middle School, to LINK Leaders at the Senior School, the Richmond Road campus saw returning students step up to the plate and guide their new peers through this transition, helping carry luggage to their boarding houses, and welcoming both day and boarding students (and their families) to the SMUS community.
Enjoy a selection of photos below from our kick-off events.
