Reflections and Contemplations: A year of old and new WELCOME
It is with immense pleasure and a touch of excitement that I welcome you to this year’s edition of Have Mynde. This introduction holds a special place in my heart as it marks my first since taking up the Headship at The Queen’s School. And reading the contents I can honestly say “What a year it has been!” Every day, I am filled with pride and gratitude to lead such an extraordinary institution, brimming with talented, and spirited, young women.
Reflecting on the past year, I am continually astounded by the remarkable achievements of our girls. They have not only excelled academically but have also shone brightly in sports, arts, and community initiatives. It’s clear to me that the spirit of Queen’s is alive and thriving in every corner of our school. One of the highlights of my year has been witnessing the girls’ dedication and passion across a variety of activities. From the awe inspiring performances in our school productions, where I am convinced we have a few future West End stars in our midst, to the determined and unyielding spirit displayed on the sports field, our students have shown that they are capable of great things. They have embraced challenges with enthusiasm and resilience, qualities that will serve them well in all their future endeavours. These are the moments that build our community and create memories that will last a lifetime. In our classrooms, the pursuit of knowledge and understanding has been nothing short of inspiring. Our students have engaged with complex subjects and have produced work of the highest calibre. Their curiosity and drive to learn remind me daily of the importance of nurturing a supportive and stimulating environment. I must also extend my heartfelt thanks to our dedicated staff and supportive parents, whose contributions have been invaluable in making this year so successful. Your unwavering
support ensures that our girls have the best possible environment to flourish and grow.
So, as we turn the pages of this year’s Have Mynde, I hope you share in my pride and admiration for our pupils’ achievements. This publication is a testament to their hard work, creativity, and the vibrant spirit of The Queen’s School. Here’s to another fantastic year of growth, learning, and unforgettable experiences. Thank you for being part of this incredible journey. Enjoy the read, and let’s look forward to even more success in the year ahead.
