BUILDING A CULTURE OF BELONGING AND THINKING IN HOUSE GROUP

MELINDA EGAN, DEAN OF STUDENTS

When is a roll call, not just a roll call? When it’s also a House Group. At the heart of a girl’s experience at BGGS is the sense of belonging she feels, the way she is known and valued, and the connections she forms with others. The relationships she has with peers and teachers are the foundation of her success at school. Imagine stepping into the shoes of a typical BGGS girl for a day. You’d quickly be witness to the understanding, care, and support that envelop her. A key part of this experience is House Group, at the start of most days, which shapes her school life in many ways.
