HARROW HORIZONS PROGRAMME

CALENDAR

The calendar can also be accessed through the iSAMS Parent Portal. As Hong Kong sports league fixtures are published at short notice, they are entered into a Google Calendar that is available to parents via the Parent Portal; this can be synced with smartphones, tablets or computers and is updated when any changes occur.

An essential part of a Harrow education is to provide a varied Co-Curricular programme. At Harrow International School Hong Kong, the Harrow Horizons Programme immerses pupils in a vibrant menu of opportunities and challenges through sport, charity and service, expeditions, drama, art, music, and academic extension. In essence, the Harrow Horizons Programme encourages our pupils to step out of their comfort zones whilst undertaking new experiences and challenges, providing a holistic education for all pupils. Through the programme, they develop the six key Leadership Attributes:

• Contributing positively to the community • Applying knowledge with compassion • Solving problems collaboratively • Solving problems creatively • Making fair and just choices • Facing challenges with determination

Pupils build new skills and resilience, and experience significant personal growth, enabling them to develop the attributes underpinning the School’s vision statement Educational Excellence for Life and Leadership.

The Harrow Horizons Programme can be distinguished into three main areas: • Super-Curriculum Activities (SCAs) • Co-Curricular Activities (CCAs) • Leadership in Action (LiA)

Pupils choose two SCAs termly and these are taught by inspiring, qualified and knowledgeable teachers within the structured school day. Co-curricular activities take place before school, at lunchtimes, and after school. Leadership in Action takes place in the form of camps and sleepovers which take place in the Autumn Term. Sign-up for SCAs and CCAs takes place termly and is completed online. Further information can be found in our Pre-Prep Harrow Horizons Booklet, which is sent to parents each term.
