⚽👏 HARRIS CUP: A STRONG SHOWING FROM OUR YEAR 9 & YEAR 10 BOYS ! 👏⚽ Our boys' teams represented the school brilliantly at this year's tournament, demonstrating determination, teamwork and resilience throughout. 💪 🥈 Year 9 Boys – Runners-Up The Year 9 boys made an excellent start to the tournament, producing a dominant performance in their opening match to secure a convincing 5–0 victory. They controlled the game from start to finish, playing with confidence and creating numerous chances. In their second match, they faced a tougher challenge and, despite a determined effort, were defeated 2–0. The result meant the team finished the tournament as runners-up – a fantastic achievement and a reflection of the quality they showed throughout the day. 👏 ⚽ Year 10 Boys The Year 10 boys produced two strong performances in their opening games, drawing 0–0 against last year's tournament winners before another goalless draw in their second match. Across both games, they created some of the best chances of the tournament and played on the front foot with confidence and determination. Although they were unable to convert their opportunities into goals and suffered a 2–0 defeat in their final match, the team can be incredibly proud of the positive, attacking football they displayed throughout the competition. A huge congratulations to both teams for their effort, attitude and the way they represented the school. The future is bright! 🌟⚽ #SchoolSport #BoysFootball #RunnersUp #Teamwork #Football #Proud #SchoolPride

Students from Year 9 recently had the exciting opportunity to attend the KPMG Opening Doors to Opportunity workshop, held at HSBC and KPMG. The technology-focused event provided a rich, hands-on experience where students tackled real-world business challenges, working as consultants to develop innovative solutions. Guided by industry professionals, they enhanced key transferable skills such as communication, teamwork, creative problem-solving, and resilience. The day also offered valuable insight into emerging technologies shaping modern business, alongside engaging office tours and networking opportunities with professionals from a range of departments. This was a highly enriching and inspiring experience that gave students a meaningful glimpse into future career pathways!

As another wonderful year of community projects comes to a close, we want to celebrate the fantastic environmental work carried out by our Year 12 students across the local area. At King’s College School, our dedicated beekeepers have cared for their hives in all conditions, learning the skills needed to maintain healthy colonies and support local biodiversity at a time when wild bee populations are under increasing pressure. Meanwhile, our community rangers have been hard at work at Watermeads and Morden Park Hall, clearing litter, managing vegetation, and helping to clean the river to protect the ecosystems and wildlife that depend on these green spaces. A huge thank you to all our community project hosts for their support and guidance this year, and congratulations to our Year 12 students for their enthusiasm, commitment, and positive impact on the community. #community #environment #bees

Year 11 celebrated (almost) the end of their first five years at HAWI in style this morning, as we all enjoyed our Year 11 Leavers Assembly. Tutors and House Leaders from each tutor group shared anecdotes, many laughs, and some long-forgotten stories about our Year 11 students’ lives at HAWI. This was followed by our annual shirt-signing party, a really high-spirited and positive event on what seemed like the first warm day of the summer!

The Year 7 Girls Netball Team recently represented HAWI at the Harris Federation Netball Finals after being crowned South Quadrant champions. Competing against some very strong opposition, the team performed brilliantly throughout the tournament and finished an outstanding 2nd overall. HAWI opened the competition with a dominant 9–1 victory over Harris Garrard Academy, showcasing excellent teamwork and confidence from the very first whistle. They followed this with a thrilling 7–6 win against Harris Academy Crystal Palace in a closely contested match. Their final game was against a very strong Harris Chafford Hundred side, who eventually went on to win the tournament. Despite a determined performance, HAWI lost 11–4, securing a fantastic runners-up finish overall. The entire squad represented the school exceptionally well. Marnie and Astrid were outstanding in defence at GK and GD, making numerous interceptions and applying constant pressure to the opposition shooters. Iris, Lauren and Zara rotated effectively between WA and WD, providing excellent defensive blocks as well as intelligent attacking passes through the court. Florence controlled the tempo of the game brilliantly at Centre, linking defense and attack with composure and energy throughout the tournament. In GA and GS, Grace, Diane and Isabella worked cohesively together, creating excellent shooting opportunities and converting many goals. It was a wonderful display of netball from HAWI, and the team thoroughly deserved their impressive 2nd-place finish. Well done to all involved on an excellent achievement. #netball #tournament #competition

HAWI’s Year 10 girls football team produced an outstanding performance in their Harris Cup semi-final, defeating Harris South Norwood 5–1 to secure their place in the final alongside the Year 7 girls football team. It was an excellent all-round team display, with the squad showing great composure, teamwork and commitment from start to finish. Arin was solid in goal, providing confidence and calmness at the back, while the defensive line of Callie, Shiraz and Megan worked tirelessly throughout the game to keep Harris South Norwood under pressure. In midfield, Maisie Bone and Maisie Murray controlled the game brilliantly, linking play well and distributing some excellent passes out wide. Maia, Grace, Illinca and Almas all rotated effectively in the wide positions, bringing energy, movement and attacking intent to the team’s play. Isabella was a constant attacking threat and created numerous opportunities going forward. The result capped off a superb team performance and means the Year 10s now join the Year 7s in the Harris Cup Final. #girlfootball #HarrisCup #Final #Competition

We are incredibly proud to share the fantastic achievements of our Debate Mate teams, who recently took part in this year’s regional Debate Mate Cup. Our Year 10 team, Laxana, Gulliver, Mia and Ella, delivered an outstanding performance, placing 4th out of more than 30 competing school teams. This remarkable accomplishment reflects their hard work, confidence, and sharp debating skills. Our Year 9 team, Rayan, Zakir, Rico and Iskander, also impressed the judges with their teamwork, clear communication, and thoughtful arguments. They represented the school brilliantly and showed real promise as future senior debaters. Both teams demonstrated maturity, resilience, and enthusiasm throughout the competition. We are delighted to celebrate their success and look forward to seeing them continue to grow as articulate, confident speakers. #debate #speak #DebateMate

Yesterday, we held our first session of The Hawi Games, a literary escape game designed and created by the student librarians team. It was an amazing experience!

You can sign up for the second session, which will take place after the half-term break. The exact date will be confirmed very soon! #escaperoom #escapegame #mystery #game #reading #NationalYearOfReading2026 #GoAllIn2026

Year 8 students recently celebrated a fantastic achievement with their Brilliant Club graduation at Royal Holloway University. Over the past year, they have worked diligently as ‘Disease Detectives,’ completing their dissertations and developing impressive research and critical thinking skills along the way. The graduation event was a wonderful opportunity to recognise their hard work and success, as well as to experience university life first-hand. During the visit, students toured the campus, spoke with current undergraduates, and even designed their own university society, giving them a real insight into higher education. A special mention goes to Billy and Gabi, who confidently delivered a speech to fellow students and schools, sharing their experiences of the Brilliant Club and reflecting on everything they had learned.
