MEET THE HEAD OF HOUSE – SAMANTHA SMELLIE

As head of Turner I’ve been lucky enough to get to know some amazing and talented girls. I love being a member of the Turner family, where each girl makes living here a great experience. As one of the smaller boarding houses we are all able to express ourselves and get to know one another really well. With all the different cultures and personalities present in Turner the house has become a wonderful environment, especially when we get to share stories and ideas.

I’m always amazed by the array of talent in the house and so proud when Turner gets a chance to work together. This year has been brilliant so far, with a lively and hilarious group of lower sixth joining the house and some life long memories already made. I’m so glad to be in Turner and can’t wait for more great times in house.
