NHEHS Old Girls’ Association Newsletter Head’s Review 2014 was a year of energy and creativity at NHEHS, with staff and girls trying out new ideas as well as fitting all of our old traditions into the new spaces. The spring term was a musical one, with girls once again being invited to perform ‘Sung Evensong’ at St George’s Chapel, Windsor, performing Mozart’s Prague Symphony and Faure’s Requiem at our stunning Spring Concert at St Barnabas Church, and then singing their hearts out for the annual House Shout - slightly less deafening in the spacious new hall, but not much! The hall has also come into its own this year for a powerful production of Macbeth, set in a modern war-torn middle east and with gripping performances by talented girls from throughout the school, and then as the venue for a fabulous Christmas Fair run by the Parents’ Guild, complete with magical Christmas grotto, set up in the new theatre. It was also the scene of a new venture in encouraging girls to understand about economics and commerce, as all of the Year 9 girls took part in the ‘Tenner’ challenge, setting up businesses and selling their wares. Several of them won national prizes for their marketing skills and impressive profits. The annual Careers Convention, run by the Parents’ Guild, was another hugely successful event, with over 80 volunteers, many of them Old Girls, giving advice and information about a wealth of careers, from advertising to veterinary science and everything in-between. This was an amazing opportunity for the girls and the buzz and excitement was palpable. NHEHS OGA Newsletter
