With Excelsior as our sleep residence, the pairing of knights and queens feels like a match made in royal heaven.

Together, we’re ready to embrace this exciting chapter and uplift the spirit of Kasteel in ways that will make this a year to remember.

Our vision for the year is clear: we’re committed to creating an environment where every Kasteel lady feels safe, supported, and inspired to express herself fully. We want each of you to feel the pride and passion that comes with being a part of Kasteel.

As we step into this journey, we bring with us not only a deep love for Kasteel but also an unwavering commitment to making meaningful changes. Already, we’ve started implementing improvements that we believe will have a lasting impact…

Between the nine of us on the House Committee, we’re bursting with ideas, initiatives, and projects. We’re here to ensure that this year is filled with opportunities to connect, grow, and thrive.

But this year isn’t just about what the House Committee can do. It’s about all of us, united by the bond of being Kasteel ladies. We’re not just a team leading from the front, we’re a team that’s here to listen, to support, and to walk alongside each of you.

We believe that by being for the people and by the people, we can create a community where everyone’s voice is heard, where ideas are shared openly, and where every resident feels like an essential part of the journey.

Together, we’ll build a legacy of unity, respect, and resilience that will echo through Kasteel’s corridors for years to come.

As a House Committee, we want to look back on 2025 as the year we came together as a sisterhood to create something truly remarkable.

This is not just our journey, it’s your journey too, and we can’t wait to walk it alongside you. We’ll be there to support, to guide, and to celebrate every milestone together.

So, let’s make 2025 a year of absolute joy! Let’s embrace the heart and soul of Kasteel, lifting each other up and making our home even stronger.

Here’s to a year filled with pride, purpose, and the true spirit of Kasteel!

Together, let’s wear our crowns with honour, uphold our traditions, and make this journey one that inspires each and every one of us.

We’re ready for this adventure, and we’re thrilled to share it with you.

We will be forever yours and you will be forever ours!
