Beaulieu Blair

What a great year we have had as Captains of Beaulieu Blair. Thank you to everyone in this magnificent House for being so enthusiastic and involved.

We kicked off the season in the pool. No matter where you were in the Aquatics Centre, your eyes were blinded with talent, and eardrums shattered with cheers of “GO BEAULIEU.” We knew we were in for a big year.

House Arts set the scene for an amazing year ahead. With the dedicated and enthusiastic Year 12 Beaulieu Blair Team, and the hard work of the entire House, Beaulieu Blair got the win. Alongside the choreographing, singing, and acting, was the creation of the new BB motto, Bite the Bullet. This encapsulates the understanding that sometimes in life we may face challenges that seem insurmountable, but with cooperation and selflessness, we can do great things.

Then we had House Athletics. The whole athletics part was fun but Beaulieu, of course, was victorious in our House Chant. House Cross Country was similarly splendid and a great opportunity to see the girls interacting with other Year levels and organising themselves. We have found hidden talents and strengths in Beaulieu girls across all Year groups – it has been thrilling to collaborate and thrive together. Our House meetings have been a blast – often a bit impromptu and always fun. From the moment we met the Year 7s on Induction Day, we have connected with the girls across the House and feel proud of the incredible comradery within the BB tribe.

To our Beaulieu teachers – thank you for your contributions and support. Our Head of House, Mr Racina, provided us with humour and guidance. He has been a pleasure to work with. Beaulieu girls, our champions, with your yellow ribbons, you are the sunshine on a cloudy day. It has been a privilege.

Davis

2022 has been an unforgettable year for all girls in Davis!

As Captains, we were inspired by the passion and enthusiasm everyone had towards the multiple House events this year. Their eagerness helped create such a warm and inclusive House culture, making House meetings and events so enjoyable for everyone.

Our House Arts in 2021 was an amazing week with every Year level joining together to sing and perform. I think we can all agree Davis became a big family, with each Davis girl helping to contribute towards making it such a fun week for everyone involved!

Davis performed exceptionally well with high participation in House Cross Country Running and House Athletics, placing second in both events! A major highlight was all the Davis girls lining the final 100m track at House Athletics to support our relay teams!

We are tremendously proud of each and every Davis girl for their sensational efforts and achievements. A huge thank you to our amazing Head of House, Ms Curnow, for helping and supporting us every step of the way. We are so grateful to everyone in Davis for making our year as leaders so special. We wish you well and cannot wait to see what the Davis Family does next!

GO DAVIS!!

Holmes Kilbride

We could not be prouder of the efforts of Holmes Kilbride this year. It’s a credit to all members of HK how consistently enthusiastic, spirited and unified they have been from the start. The slogan ‘It’s not a House, it’s a Holmes’ has shaped the culture in Holmes Kilbride.

We started off strong with a win in House Swimming. Without fail every girl has put in their best effort, and their unfaltering dedication has paid off in success for Holmes. Participation has been our strongest asset, and the greatest testament to the culture that we have been building this year. HK girls stepped up for events no matter the challenge or personal difficulty.

There was no shortage of blue war stripes and costumes as every member of Holmes cheered their House over the House Cross Country finish line. House Athletics reinforced this attitude, as the grit and determination to occupy every single event reflected the depth of commitment all the way from Years 7 to 12. The success, taking first place in both House Cross Country and House Athletics, could not have been carried out without the comradery between Year groups.

Beyond the sporting field, the girls showcased their diverse range of talents in House Arts, House Debating, House Chess and House Public Speaking. House Debating showed the competitive drive and intellect of the House.

Thank you to our brilliant Head of House, Ms Esther Latimour, for her leadership and support. Best of luck to future years, and we hope you enjoy the opportunity to be part of such a wonderful group. Thanks again girls, it’s been a privilege.

Langley Templeton

What a great year for Langley in 2022! We have loved being reconnected this year after two years with an interrupted calendar. The culture in Langley this year has boosted more than ever and the results in the House Cup certainly do not reflect the effort, passion and fun enjoyed by all. While our wins mainly lay in participation, we were thrilled to take out House Snowsports in 2022.

A major highlight of our year as Captains and as a House was by far House Arts, where we took out second place at the end of 2021. It was a great opportunity to see the House combine and emerge in one of the strongest performances we have seen in our five years competing in House Arts.

Another highlight of our jam-packed year in Langley was the annual Easter Raffle where we raised money for the Good Friday Appeal. We had a record-breaking number of tickets purchased, which could not have been done without the help of the SRC Reps and LT donations of chocolate eggs.

As always, we would like to give a massive shout out to Mr Brown as our Head of House. Without Mr Brown we would not have been able to function. His support this year certainly has not gone unrecognised.

We wish Langley Templeton the best of luck for future years, and another great year in 2023, led by the fabulous Lily Taylor and Lucia Tabbagh. We will miss you all!
