HOUSE
Reports Year 8 Dunblane This year, Dunblane House has had a great time! We started off with Swimming Sports doing lots of exciting relays, for example the tyre race. This year because of COVID-19, we haven’t been able to have as many House lunches as we were planning, but we had one amazing House lunch, when Year 7 and 8 came together and the Year 13 prefects came down to greet all of us. Soon after, we had the lead up to Wearable arts with all the tutor classes working together to make creative cardboard outfits! On the day, there was chaos backstage but we all had so much fun watching all the girls walk down the catwalk. The Year 7s had a competition for making cardboard trees as the decorations and Dunblane won! Athletics was the most amazing event of the year! It was incredible to see all our Dunblanian girls giving everything a go, and even signing up for events right on the spot! The House relays were another great aspect of our House spirit! Orientation day was a chance for us to meet new girls who were going to join Dunblane in 2021! Recently, we also had our House music, where we came together as a whole House, and showcased our talents. It was a creative and loud afternoon and we got to experience House Music for the first time with the seniors. GO DUNBLANE!!!

Durham! Durham! We’re the best! We are better than all the rest!
Iona has participated in many events such as House Music. In House Music we all worked together to make five dances. Iona had lots of fun working together as a whole. The Year 7s got to come and enjoy watching this event, whereas the Year 8s got to participate for the first time ever. The entire House came together and had lots of fun.
Durham! Durham! Hear our cheer! We will win, every year! We are daring! We are cool! So, come on Durham, rule the school! D-U-R-H-A-M Go, Go, Go Durham

Elgin Elgin has had tons of fun with the activities this year; we started off the term with Swimming Sport, it was over crowded with other Houses but Elgin stood out the most; we were yelling and cheering at the top of our lungs as our House competed in the swimming races. Before COVID-19 came, we performed Wearable Arts. All the Houses got together and showed off their best fashion designs that were made of only cardboard. All the Houses were very good but our personal favourite was Elgin’s. As lockdown finished, we had another amazing event coming up… House Music! Elgin’s theme was “Favourite Childhood Movies”. We showed off our amazing dance moves; we didn't end up winning but we all had an incredible time

Having House Music was a highlight to the entire year especially after the difficult time that we had to go through during lockdown where we had to miss out on time together as a House. It was amazing to be together as a whole and have such an enjoyable experience competing in House Music.

Kelso This year has been a chaotic one to say the least. Nonetheless, Kelso has stayed strong and supported one another through the obstacles it faced. We all gathered as a House at House lunches, getting to know each other and just talking. It was really special to see everyone together and having fun. Events such as Swimming Sports, Athletics and House Lunches really helped bring Kelso together and ignite House spirit. Something really impressive was the participation in activities such as House relays. Especially at athletics, where the runners represented Kelso proudly and the wave of girls in blue cheered enthusiastically from the stands. Thank you, Kelso.
