MEMORIAL SERVICE FOR KIT DAVIES

Last week, the Herschel family lost a remarkable woman and Ballet teacher, who leaves a legacy of treasured memories. Kit Davies taught ballet at Herschel for over 15 years, and was a phenomenal role model. We send our deepest condolences to her son Kian, her partner Richard, Peter, family and friends.

Over the past few days, the girls have shared their love for her and the fact that her generous spirit, joy, smile, gentleness, kindness, care, concern, love, bubbling laughter and constant smile are the things that they will remember most. She certainly leaves an imprint of love in their lives, and the impact of her remarkable legacy was felt by all.

A memorial service for Kit Davies will be held for the pupils at Herschel on Thursday, 25 October at 13:00. The service will take place in the Preparatory School Hall and Richard and members of Kit’s family will join us as we celebrate her life and the gift of love and joy that she has given to our girls. Any Senior School girls who would like to attend may do so. Attendance is purely voluntary.

School Song

We are assembled here in love,
We are united, we care for one another.
The greatest lesson of all is the one
That teaches us to live together, together.

Refrain:
Everyone’s a spark and in the night
Together we make a light, a fire burning bright
Ad Dei Gloriam; Inkosi mayibongwe:
To the glory of our God: this is what we believe.

In times of trouble we support
Our fellows; we are taught to be there for our friends.
And all around us, there will be
That special unity, that binds us all together.

If we come back after many years,
We will think fondly of the things that we remember,
And the friends that we made then,
These will be friends forever, forever.

By Thandi Siebert, Head Girl 1993
