25 November 2022Message from our Head Girl and Head BoyHere's a message from James and Olivia, the Head Boy and Head Girl here at Harris Academy Beckenham. Find out more about Student Voice at HABE. Hello there, everyone! We are James and Olivia, the Head Boy and Head Girl here at Harris Academy Beckenham! Both of us have been students at HABE since Year 7, and so we have seen first-hand the growth of HABE throughout the years. As Sixth Form students now, it feels both scary and exciting to be completing our A-Levels and advancing into our future after HABE! However, we are incredibly grateful for the staff here at our school, for their passion and drive towards helping us achieve our full potential. Since we have been here for so long, we understand some of the troubles that our younger students can face, whether it be stress from homework, schoolwork, exams or other circumstances. In the aftermath of the pandemic, it can still be quite hard for some students to adjust to normal school life and adapt to new forms of learning. As a result, we are both very focused on giving a voice to these students, both through our positions as senior members of the Student Leadership Group (which helps to make improvements in different parts of our school). Recently, we have been focusing on subjects such as bullying and mental health, as well as deciding on which charity we should choose in light of the upcoming Christmas Break, which can be a very stressful time for many, especially given the country’s circumstances at this time. We want to be figures that students can approach with any problem, from worries about their mental health to even struggles with a particular subject they are studying. We would be more than happy to listen to them! We aspire, as Head Boy and Head Girl, to ensure that every student at Harris Academy Beckenham has a comfortable and enjoyable learning experience, whether it be your first day of Year 7, or your last week in Year 13! We do hope you have a wonderful time at our school, and we are always here as someone to listen to – and be a voice – to your concerns. We hope you have a lovely and safe Christmas Break, and we’ll see you in the New Year! James and Olivia :)
3 October 2022Our Future Women in Leadership visit LancômeOn Thursday 30th June, our Year 12 girls visited Lancôme for the prestigious ‘Women in Leadership’ day in partnership with the National Literacy Trust. Our students had the fantastic opportunity to meet with women working in the beauty industry within a variety of careers, from marketing to legal, from finance to content management. It was fantastic to see our students’ aspirations broaden as they uncovered new types of careers that they had not previously thought of, inspiring some to consider beauty as a future career path! After a short journey to the Lancôme Headquarters, Hammersmith, students were greeted with a plethora of Oreo cupcakes and orange juices (for some, this really sweetened the deal!), of which our students were astonished to see some of the perks of working in an office. We were met by some absolutely lovely staff who really wanted to take the time to greet and speak with our students about future careers paths. Following an introductory welcome speech from Lancôme and NLT, we set loose within the L’Oréal building to explore the variety of brands they represent and the plethora of jobs in operation – students were particularly impressed with the enormous display items of Elvive shampoo and NYX lipstick! Following a delicious lunch, our students were involved in a careers speed dating event with all of the staff members (pictured), where they had the chance to meet with more representatives and work on their soft skills by asking questions about how to get into the industry and ask for advice from the wealth of experience available. The day finished with a phenomenal workshop from esteemed poet Sophia Thakur, where students were asked to write poetry and letters to themselves highlighting the elements that they love the most – a fantastic opportunity to work on body positivity and vital literacy skills necessary when thinking about their future careers. We all absolutely loved the day and were sad to see it finish! What students said... “I’m very thankful that I was able to experience this. Never stop, because I truly hope other girls can gain the confidence we did.” “Today was exceptional. I had so much fun and got to meet and talk to new people. Overall, I had a fun time and appreciate everyone for this opportunity, especially Lancôme.” “I honestly thought it was the most amazing experience ever and I honestly want to work here in the future.” “It was the most beautiful and amazing event I have ever been to. I love all the staff, they are so nice and caring.”
