From the Hawkley Hall High School
We think that a variety of places—most notably, at home—help young people develop their beliefs and attitudes, with school also playing an important role. Each youngster is capable of learning and has something to give their neighbourhood and society as a whole. We have numerous partners who help us educate the children in our community, and this learning occurs both inside and outside of the classroom.
