Founders Dinner at Hurst Lodge

 

Once a year the senior students and staff at Hurst Lodge get together to honour the memory of the schools founder Miss Doris Stainer.  The event is usually a formal sit down dinner but this year because of the wonderful weather the schools extensive grounds were used to host the supper party.  Founders dinner is a time for speeches about the eccentric founder, the head girl makes a speech about her time at Hurst Lodge and it is an opportunity of the staff and the girls to say goodbye to those that are leaving and to celebrate the successes of the past year.  The Principal Victoria Smit said that it was wonderful to see so many elegant and poised young women some who had been with us since they were two and a half now discussing their excitement about taking up their places at University.
