Congratulations to Medha and Lillie!

Winners of this year's House awards go to Medha and Lillie!

'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 again across all year groups.  However, in first place, with an exceptionally high number of votes was Medha, being described as someone who 'cares about the whole House', 'is selfless with her time', 'positive and always smiling', 'superfriendly and the best big sister I could ask for' and who 'fulfils the criteria for this award perfectly'.

'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 and not seeking the limelight. It is always a hard decision for Fonthill tutors as there are so many girls this could apply to. We decided to award it to Lillie who always acts in the right way, is unfailingly polite, has been hugely supportive of both peers in her year and across all year groups in the boarding house. She also received the second highest votes for Spirit of Fonthill award with many student comments echoing tutor sentiments such as 'she's always so nice to everyone' and 'is always approachable'. She was also a very positive role model for and very welcoming to new boarders who joined us last Autumn term.
