Joel Foster performance 🎹

Recently, as part of our PSHCE enrichment, year 8 and 9 students experienced a wonderful performance and mental health talk by Joel Foster from the Prime Agency 🧠

Joel talked about his personal experiences being thrust into the limelight on The Voice at a young age and the mental health journey he has been on since. Along with his incredible live performances at HLC, our students (and staff!) were bowled over by his talent, sincerity and kindness ❤️

Thank you Joel for a wonderful day and well done to our students whose behaviours and engagement was fantastic throughout 🤩

Local community 🫱🏾‍🫲🏻

Over the past term, we’ve been so grateful for the incredible support from our local community! A massive thank you to everyone who contributes to what we do here at HLC. 🙌

We’ve received a generous donation of uniforms from Tesco, supporting students in both HLC Secondary and Primary. And earlier this term, Harry and Dan from Tree Man Specialists kindly delivered 2.5 tonnes of woodchip for our Secondary Garden project, helping us create a fantastic space for our students to learn and grow. 🌱💚
