Junior House Intro

Junior House is the home of all the UIII girls. It is a warm friendly place that enables the younger girls to quickly find their feet at Wycombe. Girls know which Senior House they will belong to before they enter Junior House which means that as well as having their own space they also feel integrated into the wider life of the school.

Going Global

Can you identify the difference between the Irish flag and the Hungarian one? Could you piece together an unlabelled map of Europe? Which country is represented by the All Blacks team? Do you know from which language the word ‘verandah' originated, before it was borrowed into English? These were just some of the many challenges that were presented to our Junior House girls at the inaugural ‘Going Global' event.

The girls came in a kaleidoscope of national costumes: ranging from a Moroccan belly-dancer, Nigerian national dress, American cowgirl, Swedish national dress, to a smattering of Australian Akubra hats and some Union Jacks too. Working in teams, the girls answered questions about national flags, famous people, international sporting events, and words borrowed into the English language.
