The Boarding Experience

At Kites, we cultivate a family-like atmosphere. Houseparents Nick and Susi Blithe along with their two grown up children and two dogs, Arnie and Jethro, create a supportive community where boarders feel at home. Our approach balances fun activities with structured routines to ensure restful nights.

“Boarding at Beachborough is extremely flexible….from a one-off try out, to coming for regular nights every week.”
Houseparents’ Welcome

To ease the transition into boarding, new students receive a personalised guide and are paired with experienced buddies who mentor them through their initial days.

Engaging Boarding Activities

Our boarders participate in a variety of activities designed to foster creativity, teamwork, and enjoyment:

  • Outdoor Games: Capture the flag, water fights
  • Creative Workshops: Crafts, tech Lego
  • Evening Entertainment: Board games, ‘You Choose’ activity nights
  • Special Events: Friday night boarding parties planned by the boarders themselves

These activities are thoughtfully scheduled to provide a balance between excitement and relaxation.
