Kilgraston’s Heads of House - House boards 2020

Kilgraston’s Heads of House have been busy making their House Boards for the year. The House boards are a fun way for the Upper Sixth Form House teams to showcase their artistic side and a friendly competition to see who can be the most colourful and intricate. So what is the thinking behind each of their boards? Our Heads of Houses explain:

Mirah – Head of Arran
“For Arran, we decided to do a space theme. We came up with this idea because we wanted to do something fun and new, and thought space was an accurate representation of the Kilgraston Community. We made each of the year groups different planets as we thought this portrays how each year group functions as a planet but we all come together as a solar system. We included some of our House teachers to recognise how they contribute to the House and support us. We also included the sheep as they are the house mascot.”

Mhairi – Head of Kinnoull
“Kinnoull’s theme for the House board was based on the films ‘Monsters Inc’ and ‘Monsters University’. I wanted to include a dragon in our board as that is our House’s mascot, and I also mainly used the colour purple as that is our House’s colour. All of Upper Sixth and the teachers who are in Kinnoull are separate characters from the movie and relate to the character in some way. For example, Paula is the mum from monsters University as she is very kind.”

Elisa –Head of Inchcolm
“We decided to have ‘Hamilton’ as a theme for our House board this year as children over all the year groups can identify with this movie. The board features a hand-painted and drawn stage from the ‘Hamilton’ musical with the important characters shown on the stage as well as the House team on top of the star. All of us are in love with this theme and Hamilton has been growing in popularity since it was released and we all identify with the characters.”

Georgia – Head of Moncreiffe
“Moncreiffe’s board is all about ‘Despicable Me’. It is a really fun movie that all ages enjoy so we knew it would be one people would stop at when they go past. The Minions, of course, are yellow, which is not only bright and colourful but yellow is also Moncreiffe’s House colour. We tried to match the film characters to teachers so Mrs Speed is Vector as she is a computer wizard and Mrs O’Hear is holding up the moon as she is Moncreiffe’s Head of House and is the heart and soul of Moncreiffe. We also made the Junior Years the purple minions because they are so happy and sometimes really excited.”
