Fountains, Fruit and Fun
On Sunday evening, Gardner & Graham House staff welcomed students from all three Senior Houses to an evening of chocolate fountains, fruits and some chill-down time around the pool table as a way of wrapping up the weekend and de-stressing in the midst of exam season! Everyone enjoyed it, with the last drops of chocolate being diligently scraped & sprinkled onto the remaining few bits of fruit! #StudentNews
