Holmes Kilbride

TITLE

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 Arts allowed an opportunity to display collaboration and creativity, proving a defining event. 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.
