HEAD GIRL & HEAD BOY REFLECTIONS Nina Brain, Head Girl The past seven years at Kingswood have had such a massive impact on my life, for making me who I am today, and for that I’m so grateful. I know that Kingswood’s influence will stay with me for the rest of my life and continue to shape my future. It’s so easy during term time to forget how fortunate we are to have such amazing teachers who go above and beyond to support us. This year, especially, they helped us all to grow in more ways than we realise; whether it was going above and beyond during online learning, supporting us through tough times, coaching us on
the sports fields or preparing us for the next stages of our lives. The teachers at Kingswood have worked so hard this year, ensuring that we made the most of every opportunity, and I’m sure my whole year group would agree in saying what a privilege it has been to have them as our mentors. Kingswood is a community filled with so many talented individuals, and there is always a space to show and develop these talents further. For me, sport was the biggest highlight of my school life. Being able to train and play with so many different people, whether it was playing with people a few years above or below me at evening hockey, or playing with my team, the sense of community and team spirit never failed to shine through! For those further down the school, my advice for you is to make the
most of everything Kingswood has to offer. Whether it’s the sport, the friendships you make, or opportunities you seek – it’s all so worth it. And specifically for the leavers – thanks for being such an amazing year group. We have managed to cram so much into our Kingswood life, from sports teams and socials, concerts, drama productions, House entertainments, school trips all over the world, I could go on and on. Our year has an incredible dynamic of people, with an amazing balance of characteristics. You are all such kind-hearted and driven people. I wish you all the best in the future, because each and every one of you deserve it. Even though it’s hard to think of leaving Kingswood, I can’t wait to see where the next stages of our lives take us and I am so grateful for everything this school has given us.
