COMMITTEES
Academic
The HNHS Academic committee began the year on a
high note, with an assembly celebrating the successes
of our students in the November 2013 external
examinations. We then took on the role of
congratulating and mentoring the Year 9 scholarship
winners, as we can all remember how overwhelmed we
were when we first began high school. Later in the year,
our focus turned to preparing senior students for up and
coming benchmark and final examinations. We organised volunteer tutoring with committee members and
other generous year 13s willing to give up their lunchtimes, and on behalf of all tutors we are so pleased with
the hard work those being tutored have put in.
At an assembly in term four we acknowledged all students who had gained a significant number of
‘excellence’ grades in internal assessment. Our
congratulations goes to all students who have achieved
results they can be proud of and best of luck for external
results as they come out in January!

Community Services
The Community Services Committee is a year 13
committee that raises money for different charities within our
community. These charities could be global, national or
local and this year we have raised money for a range of
charities. All of this money is raised through events such
as mufti days.
We began the year with the challenge to get students
involved with “relay for life” which is an event held to raise
money for the cancer society. Not only did we hold our
first mufti day for the year for this event but we helped our
head boy and girl organise students to be able to take part
in relay for life. The event was held in Clive and even with
the temperature dropping over night to very cold students
found out that a BBQ could work brilliantly as a heater. This
was a great event and one that I know we will support for
years to come.
Next was term 2 when Mrs Fitzsimons introduces the
importance of supporting “Breast Cancer” awareness. As
this was to be Mrs Fitzsimons last term with us we felt this
was another great charities to support.
