Winners of this year's House awards go, coincidentally, to our outgoing and incoming Heads of House - Emma and Jess.
'Spirit of Fonthill' is given each year to a girl who embodies the spirit of our House through her positive attitude towards House and School life, showing kindness to others, volunteering to help peers and/or staff, or willingly offering to participate in House events. It's the students' choice and this year it was lovely to see so many different people nominated across all year groups. However, Emma won the majority of girls' votes, being described as 'always positive and happy', 'always around to talk to and been to support everybody's House matches' and 'always so enthusiastic about everything Fonthill' with 'boundless enthusiasm and positivity'.
'Wright Way' is for somebody who has trodden the right path and who goes that extra mile to help out; somebody who is pro-active, seeing what needs to be done before being asked, or somebody who acts with humility not seeking limelight. It is always a hard decision for Fonthill tutors as there are so many girls this could apply to; however, this year, we awarded it to Jess who we feel embodies the description perfectly; making a video for our fundraising assembly, or taking photos at multiple House and school events are just two examples of the many times she has worked hard behind the scenes without making any fanfare.
Many congratulations, Emma and Jess!!
