Being Co-Captains has meant so much to us. It has been an honour to be representatives of a school we love with all our hearts. Seeing the younger girls wave to us in the playground and look up to us is so lovely. The sense of community at St Catherine’s is beautiful, everyone cares for each other.   

Being involved in running assemblies was a privilege. Seeing the smiling faces of the Barbreck girls and the sea of blue ribbons is something we looked forward to every Friday. Having a leadership position has given us amazing opportunities to build our confidence. We have learned so much!  

We have loved watching the Year 6 girls thrive in their positions and areas of responsibility through their behaviour, kindness, the way they wore their uniform with pride, the tasks they carried out, and the care of all Barbreck girls.   

In 2023, we created an award based on our theme for the year, ‘Determination.’ We wanted to reward and encourage positivity, perseverance, and kindness. We hope we inspired the Barbreck girls to strive to instil these qualities in themselves.   

Our Year 6 Cohort shares a close bond. This has made our time in Barbreck such a memorable and special journey. We know we speak on behalf of every girl in Year 6 when we say we will miss being part of this caring Junior School. We will miss the amazing teachers who have guided us all along the way.

We are so thankful for the many opportunities Barbreck has provided us.
