NEW HEADING

New text paragraph. The Text Feature is essentially a word processor, very simple to work with.

 

‘Board: never to be confused with ‘bored’’

Boarders have ease of access to the extensive range of sporting and extra-curricular opportunities on offer, and they are able to optimise their intake of all the lessons supporting personal development which such experiences offer. Much of this happens back in the boarding houses, where self-reflection takes place within the context of peers doing the same, along with tutors mentoring and coaching, drawing on their extensive expertise and experience.

This is an accordion data cell, but where the accordion is in a Text Feature, you simply work in the same way as anywhere else in a text feature, it's a word processor. :)
