At the start of the 2018 academic year (Morgan May, Jasmine Amos, Angus Wilson and Ella Eastwood), were thrilled to be appointed with the roles of senior student leadership team at Herne Bay High School. It is safe to say this past year has been a busy one; full of fundraising, forming relations with the lower school and public speaking. Our first role whilst in these positions was helping in the summer welcome week. This involved making the transition process from Year 6 to Year 7 easier by establishing friendships before the start of term. The week consisted of a range of fun and practical activities such as roller-skating, dance, climbing and cooking, that were well received by the younger students. This was a truly valuable experience as it enabled us to develop our roles as heads and deputies, giving us confidence and leadership skills that we feel have made this challenging year a success.

On the 6th and 7th of April, 41 Year 9 students faced the difficult challenge of their Bronze level expedition for the Duke of Edinburgh's Award. Prior to this, they had received training on the various skills needed including map navigation, compass bearings, first aid, camp craft, and most importantly the importance of planning routes and team organisation. Miss Capon was highly optimistic that all students were ready and would be successful in their practice expedition due to all the hard work that all students endured.

The Art Department is pleased and proud to announce that 7 of our art students have been shortlisted for this year’s Turner Gallery Margate Portfolio Art Competition. This is the highest number of shortlisted students we have ever had from this annual competition. The successful students were shortlisted down to a selection of 100, from over 1500 art entries across the county. The awards ceremony follows in May 2019, where students will be informed if their art pieces have received prizes in their categories and be on display in the gallery itself.
