Kilgraston Head Girl team plan for 2022
Meet Lexie, Amy and Jeanie, Kilgraston’s Head Girl team for 2022 - 2023. Here Head Girl Lexie, introduces the team and shares their plans for this term:
Jeanie, Amy and I are looking forward to the academic year ahead, we have got many exiting ideas and can’t wait to contribute to all aspects of Kilgraston life.
We are helping plan Goals Days, we have already given several speeches, and participated in and organised school activities. Amy and Jeanie have been at the school since Lower Four and I joined in Lower Fifth so we have lots of great Kilgraston memories together and are excited to make many more new ones in this coming year, both individually but also together.
Life at Kilgraston is bustling and busy, as well as being on the Head Girl Team we are all sports captains. I am Senior Hockey captain, Jeanie is Senior Tennis captain and Amy is Senior Netball captain. We are really looking forward to getting to know our LFG’S and new pupils that have joined the school and integrating the Lower Sixth to make it a more collective Sixth Form, it is what Kilgraston is all about.
Looking ahead to the next school year, Jeanie, Amy and I are excited to get to know and work with our new Headteacher, Mrs Davie so we can make it a successful school year for all.
Kilgraston Head Girl 2021 - 2022 talks about her Kilgraston experience
Kilgraston’s Head Girl 2021 - 2022, Maria, talks about her Kilgraston experience, thank you Maria:
The time has officially come to bid farewell and leave the gates of Kilgraston after 15 years of education, connection and school spirit. New chapters in life often harbour reflection and when I contemplate my time at Kilgraston I am gratified with the memories, friendships and knowledge I have gained. Concluding my time at Kilgraston in being awarded the position of Head Girl, I have worked to my greatest ability to encapsulate the makings of not only a leader but the qualities of a Kilgraston individual, exemplifying perseverance, amiability and humility in school life.
Going into Upper Sixth, the Head Girl Team had a myriad of ideas and innovation to cement within the school environment linking to the Sacred Heart Goal of Community. In consideration of what we have achieved and created, I am contented and full of pride in our achievements. Our Burns Supper, Sixth Form Ball, Talentless Show, Seasonal Party, Goals Day activities and more all linking to charity have all contributed to our experiences and memories of our time at Kilgraston. My proudest moment as Head Girl has been the success and hopeful continuation of the Charity Week we established for the first time in Kilgraston History. Each year group was given a charity for the year to research, spread awareness and fundraise for, including Pancreatic Cancer UK, Maggie’s, Cardiomyopathy UK and more. I will forever smile when I think of the ‘Soak the Upper Sixth and Staff’ event which culminated at the end of the Charity Week, where we raised £300 for the Charity CHAS. Not only did the splashing of water and attack of sponges spark hilarity, but we crafted a strong sense of togetherness and community.
As Head Girl of Kilgraston for 2021-2022, I have felt so humbled and honoured to have been awarded this leadership position and I will undoubtedly take the skills I have picked up with me into adult life. I am overjoyed to have accomplished the Sacred Heart Goal of Community with all pupils participating in fundraising events for a plethora of charities, volunteering and developing in both an academic domain alongside in ambition and confidence within themselves.
I have been so fortunate to have been joined in my leadership by my two Deputy Head Girls, India and Yolanda. Together, we have established a strong sense of school ethos and dynamism within both the pupil and staff sphere. We have unquestionably learnt a magnitude of skills that will complement our future horizons and feel additionally fulfilled when we consider what we have accomplished for our legacy at Kilgraston. Not only as a team but as three strong friends, India, Yolanda and I have truly maximised all opportunities provided and have conducted ourselves in a manner of friendliness and humanity, hoping to exemplify the belief system that ‘No one is perfect’ and encourage all pupils to be themselves and try their best in all aspects of school life.
Whilst departing from Kilgraston signifies poignancy for the Upper Sixth Leavers, I know that it is our time to go and branch out in the world, reassured of our future thanks to Kilgraston and the education it has provided. As I pass on the baton of leadership, I wish the new Head Girl Team of 2022-2023 the greatest fulfilment and success in the coming year. Explore your talents and capture every moment, the time will fly by faster than you can anticipate hence seize every opportunity and every day at school.
For my final sign-off one more time, Thank you Kilgraston.
Cor Unum.
Maria E.
Kilgraston’s Head Girl Team 2022-2023 announced
Appointments of Kilgraston’s much-coveted Head Girl Team, for academic year 2022/3, have been announced.
Lexie picks-up the Head Girl baton from Maria, while Jeanie and Amy will perform the Deputy roles.
Commenting on her new role, Lexie said: “We had quite a tough interview, but the new Headteacher, Mrs Davie, immediately put us at ease and was very positive and encouraging.”
The girls will start their positions in August, knowing that they have big shoes to fill: “This year’s team has been brilliant,” said Lexie, “they are all very personable and particularly great with the younger year groups.”
The Head Girl Team acts as a conduit between Senior Management and pupils, frequently suggesting ideas and representing the School on many occasions throughout the year. “Kilgraston has given me leadership skills and lots of opportunities to better myself,” said Lexie, continuing, “public speaking, inter-house debating competitions and interacting with all ages have all been invaluable. After the appointment, I felt I grew in confidence overnight, knowing that Mrs Davie put so much trust in us all.”
Lexie honed her leadership skills through both hockey and netball, being the captain of teams in both disciplines: “I love sport, playing for Perthshire Hockey and the Scotland U18 team, where I’m hoping be selected for July’s Eight Nations tournament in Spain.”
Currently having six hockey caps for Scotland, the current Lower Sixth pupil hopes to increase that number during the next few months, training hard with the Scotland Squad, at Kilgraston and at home: “The regular National Squad training is in either Glasgow or Edinburgh, which is high intensive skills training. I do fitness training at School and run in my own time.”
Kilgraston wishes the girls every success for their exciting, fulfilling and enjoyable year ahead.
