For the School Colours

A boarding-school community copes with sudden expansion when pupils from a closed nearby school join, bringing overcrowded dormitories, altered routines, and social tension. Episodic chapters follow classroom reorganizations, athletic contests, pranks, secret confidences, and leadership struggles as friendships form and loyalties are tested. Set-piece events — a school birthday, a night walk, a lecture-hall dedication, charitable war work, and a surprise tree — punctuate developments and reveal quieter acts of courage and kindness. The tone balances lively mischief with schoolroom order, showing how communal traditions and personal growth help the girls adjust to change.
