Academy Life

1 March 2024Newletter 01/03/2024HAWI6, our 6th form, is going from strength to strength.  On a Friday afternoon, all HAWI6 students work on a project by volunteering and giving back to the community in some way.  In this week’s article we are sharing the fantastic work that some students are doing with Sustainable Merton.  We are very proud of all our Year 12s who participate fully in these programmes and ‘make a difference’ to those around them.  The partnership with King’s College School (KCS) has enabled HAWI6 students to access additional opportunities such as attending talks on whether AI is transforming our society in a positive or negative way plus they will spend time working with KCS Year 12 students on their university applications in June.  These leads me nicely into Year 11 who are currently doing their next set of mock exams and beginning to think about what they will do next year.  Year 11 have shown a determined and mature attitude this week and they just need to keep this focus for the final mock papers next week. Sport has had a successful week as the Year 7 boys’ football team are through to the next round of the Harris Cup and the Year 7/8 girls’ football team won the 6-a-side Merton tournament – well done to the girls!    Next week, we will be celebrating World Book Day and students can dress up as their favourite book character on Thursday. Best wishes for an enjoyable weekend, Mrs Larizadeh https://0e58658be539ee7325a0-220f04f871df648cf4a4d93a111e3366.ssl.cf3.rackcdn.com/harris_secondary_wimbledon/uploads/document/Newsletter-01.03.24-1.pdf
2 February 2024Newsletter 2/02/2024  We were delighted to welcome best selling author Manjeet Mann on Thursday and on the 4th March we look forward to welcoming Anthony McGowan, author of Lark and winner of the 2020 Carnegie Medal.  Evidence suggests that there is a positive relationship between reading frequency, reading enjoyment and how well students achieve at school.  Our library has over four and a half  thousands books and is open every day at breaktime, lunch time and after school.  Please encourage your child to go and see our very knowledgeable librarian, Ms Angely, if they would like any help choosing a book.  Year 7 have their re-arranged theatre trip on Monday and a reminder that all Year 11 need to be in school on the inset day on Friday.  Students in the Lower School are looking forward to the disco on Thursday.  I was delighted to attend the parents’ association (WPA)  meeting last night.  I’d like to thank them for being so generous with their time and for providing opportunities for the whole community; I’d also like to thank you for supporting the events.  Due to this excellent support, the WPA are going to make a donation of £2,000 to the school for some more equipment for the playground.  The next big event is our annual Community Quiz Night on the 7th March – please save the date. This half term has flown by with just one week left.  Please can I encourage full attendance for the whole week. Best wishes, Mrs Larizadeh     https://0e58658be539ee7325a0-220f04f871df648cf4a4d93a111e3366.ssl.cf3.rackcdn.com/harris_secondary_wimbledon/uploads/document/Newsletter-02.02.24-7.pdf
31 January 2024Newsletter 15/12/2023This is the last newsletter of the Autumn Term and as we enter the last week, it will be full of festive experiences:  The Winter Celebration, Christmas Lunch, Festive Christmas jumper day, Secret Santa and our annual decorate the door competition.  I have been delighted with the amazing contributions students have made throughout the term including Year 10s supporting Year 7s with their reading,  everyone getting involved with House competitions,  visits to the theatre and London museums, Year 11 trip to Box Hill, Year 12s leading the way and being excellent role models, a fantastic Cultural Evening, the brilliant house trips, representing the academy in many different sports fixtures and much more! I would like to thank the staff who always go above and beyond to provide all these fantastic opportunities.  Students have also done a lot of work as well!  Particular congratulations to Year 11 who have just finished a week of mock exams (just 2.5 more days to go!).  They should enjoy a well-deserved rest for most of the holiday but pick their books back up a few days before we return.   As ever, I am very grateful for all your support for the academy and wish you happiness over the holidays.  Until then, we have three and a half school days to go and it is important that students attend every day until the end of the school term.  Best wishes, Mrs Larizadeh https://0e58658be539ee7325a0-220f04f871df648cf4a4d93a111e3366.ssl.cf3.rackcdn.com/harris_secondary_wimbledon/uploads/document/Newsletter-15.12.2023-5.pdf
