Having played hockey since the age of seven and served as Hockey Captain at her previous school, Dhaara brings a wealth of knowledge to the club. She teaches new skills and tactics each Friday, inspiring the younger pupils to improve and enjoy the sport.

“LHS has a great sense of community,” Dhaara said. “As a new pupil, joining the school feels easy and comfortable, especially with the amazing support from teachers and pupils. I look forward to every Hockey Club session because the girls are so excited to play.”

Deputy Head, John Partridge, commented, “We’re thrilled to see Dhaara’s positive influence on the Hockey Club and her contributions to our School community. She embodies the values we strive for at Leicester High, and we can’t wait to see the team’s progress under her guidance.”

As the School looks forward to the spring tournament, the Hockey Club is a perfect example of how Leicester High School for Girls develops opportunities for students to lead, grow, and succeed in a nurturing environment.
