Hawkins From the Housemistress

e can all agree that there’s no school like ‘real school’ and as I write this I feel very fortunate to be back in St John’s wonderful surroundings and the
Hawkins community, there is nothing better than being back together. With all of the ups and downs that we have experienced this academic year the Hawkins girls have once again made me proud with how they have dealt with everything thrown at them. They not only managed to ‘just keep calm and carry on’, but they kept up their motivation to keep learning and to stay connected throughout. Re-entering school under very different circumstances and being thrown into several lockdowns they all adjusted their mindset and took it in their stride. They have supported each other both on and off site using our online community to celebrate birthdays, academic successes, competition wins (and losses) and lockdown puppies! Hawkins girls show us every day that they are kind, intelligent and empathetic human beings and I and my team could not be prouder of them within such a difficult year for all.
