An evening spent with Nobel Laureate @georgesmoot among other great minds was a real treat this week. Don’t ask me about the maths! @Harrow_HK pupils and staff being inspired. The importance of broadening one’s horizons was a key takeaway as well.

A remarkable evening this week at the Hang Lung Mathematics Awards where Ethan and Kyan picked up their gold award for their paper on the Properties of the Semigroup Generated by the RL Fractional Integral. What a way to celebrate your 18th birthday!

I hasten to add my interview and the moral responsibility piece are separate! But another fantastic pupil-led publication by @Harrow_HK pupils. An article about being Mr Hicks’s son, too!

Me: If monogamy means having one wife, what does bigamy mean?

Boarding creates a culture of education that doesn’t end when the last bell rings. Harrow Hong Kong has created a very contemporary take on a traditional boarding school, providing opportunities to become independent and real world ready. @HeadHarrowHK #harrowschool #Boarding

Boarding is fundamental at Harrow Hong Kong, providing an opportunity to become immersed in school life. It contributes to a better understanding of community and nurtures life-long abilities that will help our pupils far beyond Harrow Hong Kong. @HeadHarrowHK #HarrowSchool

One of the great privileges of living in a boarding school like @Harrow_HK is you see all the work behind the scenes it takes to keep things in good shape for the pupils #humility
