Meet The Team

For most of our younger boarders, many of this teamwill be ‘unseen’, in that the dorms and common rooms are cleaned whilst the boarders are in lessons. None the less, these staff are vital to ensuring we maintain the very highest standards, so that Fraser Youens House is a great place to live in. If you are wondering who magically cleans your dorm, or helps to tidy your personal area, these are the people: DomesticTeam Melanie Wheeler is responsible for the laundry and works hard to get through the daily mountain of dirty washing from 70 boarders, trying to re-unite all the socks, pants and shirts with their rightful owners! She is also the person to see if you can’t find your tie, PE shorts, lab coat or your school blazer. Melanie has three grown up children of her own and four grandchildren. Salecha Peters started working in the boarding house in 2017 after working as a carer. She has a daughter and hobbies include swimming, shopping and baking. Karen Standen has been a member of the team since 2010 and assists in the laundry room. She has two children of her own and four grandchildren. Her hobbies include horse riding and gardening. Marion Greenlee joined the boarding domestic team in 1999. She is married to Rick and has one child and four grandchildren. Marion enjoys listening to music especially Reggae! Linda Hobbs is one of the longest working members of the team, she started in 1991. Her interests are art and history research and she has four children and five grandchildren. Cherise Brown joined us in 2022 after working as a carer. She is also a busy mum to five children and when she does have some spare time enjoys reading and sewing.
