Well done to everyone who joined David Walker, Director, BSA, in the “Head to the Castle” 5 mile run this morning! #iloveboarding #BSAConf2024 ...
Congratulations to Portia Putatunda, founder of the Planet Spiti Boarding School in a remote part of the Himalayas, who is our first winner of BSA’s wonderful new Emma Pattison Award for Compassionate Leadership. BSA was delighted to present Planet Spiti Boarding School with an Honorary Membership this year.
“Portia could be described as the ‘Mother Theresa’ of compassionate leadership in boarding. In running every aspect of a free boarding school for young children high in the Himalayas, Portia is embodying so many things, of which compassion is a shining characteristic. Her example is humbling and inspiring in equal measure.”
The Emma Pattison Award for Compassionate Leadership has been introduced for 2024 in memory of former Epsom College Head, Emma Pattison, recognises an individual who consistently embodies compassion and kindness within their leadership role. The award exemplifies a person who fosters trust, contributes to team morale and makes a meaningful and positive impact on those around them.
