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!
This evening I have been fascinated by articles from pupils in the ‘Harrow Times’

Me: If monogamy means having one wife, what does bigamy mean?
Pupil: having a big wife?
Great start to Monday😂
Very proud and privileged to work here and see my children schooled here every day. The @Harrow_HK community is very special indeed. Hope all the teachers are having a holiday though!

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
Sadly another Saturday match succumbed to the weather but made up for it by introducing two bona fide cricket legends to #bowlersname @MichaelVaughan hope you managed to have a read!

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
Looks an interesting read. Thanks for the positive feedback
Enjoyed the @Final_Word_Pod Book Clubs first outing with @tomchicks & thinking @StoneDunk would be a good next batter in with Different Class #CricketTwitter
