On Thursday the girls were put into mixed year group teams for a treasure hunt challenge around Durham. It is safe to say the girls (and tutors) got into the competitive spirit of it all and were dashing around Durham to find the answers to their clues. Many enjoyed ice creams en route too! The afternoon saw a Junior and Senior House Cricket Competition. It was lovely to see all the girls playing and supporting. Results to follow! 

House BBQ

The annual event is always much anticipated! This year we had a Hawaiian theme and there were grass skirts and flower leis in abundance! The final awards of the year were presented and then the party started! Many thanks to our Year 12 team who helped to organize and run the evening.

The big awards at the end of the year were awarded to the following girls:

The Head of House Cup is presented by the outgoing Head of House, Caitlin, to the incoming one, Lottie. 

The Hold Fast Cup, Spirit of MacLeod is presented to an individual who has relentlessly shown house spirit, contributed to house events, been kind and generally a wonderful role model to the girls. Well done and thank you, Parnia. 

My huge thanks go to our wonderful outgoing Year 13 girls; they have brought much fun and vibrancy to MacLeod over the years and have lead with such passion this year. To the prefect team of Caitlin, Libby, Parnia, Kate, Emily, Marni, Izzy, Millie and Bella, you have been just superb! Thank you! 

Sports Day

Quite possibly the best event to round of the year! With the girls donned in their green house tops and face paint, House Spirit was overflowing from the girls and tutors. Every girl in the house took part and it was brilliant to see the girls giving everything a go. I am particularly proud of the smaller year groups who joined together to chip in and ensure that we had girls in every event. Well done to the staff who flew around the track in the ever-competitive Staff Relay! Results to follow. Do keep an eye on our House Instagram @macleodhouseds for pictures and updates.
