Prep School announces new sports and house games captains
The Prep School has identified new sports and house games captains for this academic year.
The girls, all in Lower 4th, were chosen by their teachers for commitment to their relevant sport and prominence within school teams.
The youngsters were also praised for their “leadership qualities” and ability to be “fair and open”.
The captains will work closely with Mrs Libby Rodger, helping her to organise teams as well as offering encouragement to their peers.
Mrs Rodger commented: “This experience will help the girls develop leadership and good citizenship skills.”
The PE teacher said five girls had been made captains of the following sports:
- Emilia Thompson (hockey and tennis)
- Lucy Smith (netball and rounders)
- Hannah Boyd (swimming)
- Eliza Checkley Mills (athletics)
- Daisy Cross (riding)
They will be helped by a group of Vice-Captains: Heather Halley (hockey and riding), Eliza Checkley Mills (netball), Isla Leslie (tennis) and Minty Gow (athletics). Vice-Captains for swimming and rounders have yet to be confirmed.
House Games Captains were announced as follows:
- Eliza Checkley Mills (Ptarmigan)
- Lucy Smith (Capercaillie)
- Emilia Thompson (Osprey)
Head of the Prep School, Kathryn Ebrahim, said: “The theme of team leadership is very important to us here at Kilgraston. We believe our young positive leaders can support and inspire all our Prep pupils.”
Praising the newly elected captains, Mrs Ebrahim also pointed to the achievements of Head Girl, Daisy Cross and deputes, Minty Gow and Louise McQueen who were all elected last term. She said the trio is ably assisted by Head of Houses – Isla Leslie (Osprey), Heather Halley (Ptarmigan) and Megan Dawson (Capercaillie).
