Who?
Mrs. Hollick is head of the art department at BRGS, and forms an inimitable double act with Mrs Mansfield. The self-contained nature of the art block and the use of the middle room as art department HQ can frequently be seen to distance Mrs Hollick from the rest of the school, but her presence can be felt throughout as a BRGS legend. Rumoured to wear a purple thong; supposed 'sightings' having occurred 5 years apart.
Cult following
Although terrifying to many in the more ankle-biting reaches of lower school, as students get older they tend to appreciate Mrs. Hollick's dry humour and good taste a lot more. Some students may eventually come to name her amongst their heroes, but they certainly will remember her after they leave BRGS, not least for her love of Aragorn and chequered shirts.
