"Schoolgirl Rivals" by Brenda Page is a novel written in the late 1930s. The story unfolds at an English boarding school, focusing on the experiences of a new student, Kitty Despard, an Australian girl who must navigate the complexities and rivalries of school life. The book captures the challenges Kitty faces as she adjusts to her new environment and the dynamics among different student houses, particularly concentrating on the competition between the girls. At the start of the narrative, readers are introduced to Kitty Despard as she embarks on her journey to Easthampton College, a prestigious boarding school. As she travels from Australia, she is filled with a mixture of excitement and apprehension surrounding her new school life. Once at the school, Kitty encounters a lively group of girls who quickly welcome her but are also embroiled in chatter about school hierarchies, rivalries, and the low reputation of her assigned house, Carslake's. The early interactions highlight Kitty's strong personality and athletic prowess, positioning her as a potential catalyst for change within her lackluster house as she embarks on various sports challenges, setting the stage for a narrative rife with competition, friendships, and personal growth.
