Message from the Headteacher
October has arrived and the leaves on the trees are starting to turn as we transition to Autumn. Wellbeing and mental health is really important to us at HHS and we note that Mental Health Day is approaching on October 10th. This is a moment for everyone to prioritise our mental well-being. The Action for Happiness "Optimistic October" initiative encourages us to focus on what truly matters and reminds us to check in with one another.
In assemblies this week, we launched the new student leadership application process. We invite students who are passionate about making a positive impact in our school community to consider applying for leadership roles. These positions offer a chance to lead initiatives, represent student voices, and serve as role models. By becoming a student leader, they can take ownership of the learning environment and develop essential skills that will benefit them beyond school.
Students interested in applying can do so via the QR code link provided here.
We are pleased to introduce the CARES Student Leadership Team, where each role focuses on important values:
C - Courage Leader: Supports school promotion efforts, such as the stu dent bulletin and school events.
A - Aspiration Leader: Ensures students have a voice and that their opin ions are valued.
R - Respect Leader: Champions sustainability initiatives and pledges.
E - Equality Leader: Facilitates charity work and organises events.
S - Self-Control Leader: Promotes strategies and resources to support mental health and well-being.
Additionally, we are looking for a Head Student from Year 11 who will play a pivotal role in leading the team.
We encourage students to apply, and look forward to seeing the applications and witnessing the positive impact you can make in our school community.
This October, let’s embrace the spirit of leadership and support each other’s mental health as we navigate the changes of the season.
Mr Gill Head of Academy
