WELCOME TO YEAR 12

MESSAGE FROM THE HEAD

Welcome not only to the Sixth Form, but to the final chapter of school life, where everything that you have worked so hard for throughout your school career culminates into a two-year period preparing you with the qualifications you need to embark on the next part of your educational journey. I am positive university will be one of the most memorable and enjoyable times of your life, as it was mine. Having the freedom to choose your subjects, deciding what to wear to lectures, where to live and when to socialise with friends, are just some of the many aspects of university life you will enjoy. You are almost at your end goal but you still have a couple of years to go and these years are crucial. At Harrow Hong Kong, life in the Sixth Form is different to the rest of the School. Most of you in the Sixth Form would have completed Year 11 at Harrow Hong Kong and will have developed strong working relationships with your teachers, which will be further strengthened by smaller class sizes and a shared passion for subjects – both of which are key to succeeding at A-level. At Harrow Hong Kong we offer the traditional GCSE and A-level qualifications, the ‘gold standard’ of the British education system which are recognised worldwide. We have a wide variety of subjects you can study which will prepare you for your chosen university course. You can speak to Ms Morris, Head of Sixth Form and the Sixth Form Team as well as your House Master / House Mistress, Heads of Department and School staff who will guide you in your decision making, I encourage you to draw on the wealth of knowledge and experience around you. There is also a raft of Super-Curriculum and Co-curricular Activities and classes for you to participate in. They are an integral feature of your Sixth Form education and Harrow experience, and will broaden your horizons and strengthen your university applications. I am confident by the time you leave us, not only will you be proud of your academic results, but you will also be ambitious, open minded, compassionate, creative, independent and well prepared to take on future challenges in life beyond school. I wish you well.
