Year 7 can be daunting for all students, at Hartland, it means moving up to the second floor, a rite of passage for our Year 7 students. They arrived full of promise, looking slightly swamped in their new blazers, laden with new supplies. It certainly didn’t take them long to adapt to new routines, new teachers and older students.

Almost immediately the Year 7 group became part of the secondary community, volunteering for Charity Committees, Student Council and Leadership positions. They have embraced everything on offer and contributed to school life immensely. They have built positive relationships with all their peers throughout the secondary school. Our Year 7 group are certainly active and have participated in a range of enrichment activities this year including the whole school 30 x 30 challenge, DIDI, F1 in Schools and Sports Day. A group of Year 7 Boys and Girls also made up a large part of the Tolerance Project in collaboration with Rashid and Latifa Schools. They have also proved that they have a flair for the dramatic arts, and many had roles in the annual Shakespeare Under the Stars’ performance of Romeo and Juliet. During the online learning weeks, the year 7 group have certainly proved that they can adapt to a different learning situation and become creative in their learning. They took part in one of the first virtual sporting fixtures against Kings School Al Barsha. Many arrived to their online learning platform, dressed in their national dress to celebrate our first virtual International Day. The Year 7 group have had an incredible year; full of adventure. They have grown, gaining new skills and most importantly learning to take responsibility for themselves, their learning and ultimately the impact that they can have as a year group.
