Celebrating our Schools of Sanctuary Award with a Charity Walk
Monday, 8th July 2024
On Friday, 5th July 2024, we hosted a celebration assembly to honour our achievement of the Schools of Sanctuary Award. This recognition celebrates our commitment to creating a safe, welcoming, and inclusive environment for all students, especially those seeking refuge and safety.
The assembly featured speeches, student performances expressing what "home" means to them, and presentations highlighting the incredible efforts of students, staff, and the broader community in making Harper Green a sanctuary for all. Members of the Schools of Sanctuary appraisal panel attended and were visibly moved by the assembly, expressing their admiration for the school's commitment to such a vital cause.
Following the assembly, we held a Charity Walk for Schools of Sanctuary, symbolising the incredible journeys that people undertake in their quest for safety. Students, staff, and the Schools of Sanctuary visitors participated, walking together in solidarity. This served as a powerful reminder of the challenges faced by many and the importance of standing together to offer support and sanctuary.
