Our Head Girl and Head Boy delivered a special message at Harvest Assembly:
Harvest is a time of year when we pause to think about all the wonderful things we have in our lives and to say thank you. We are grateful for the food we have to eat, the people who care for us, our families and friends, and everyone who works hard to grow, make and provide the food we enjoy.

But Harvest is also about sharing. Not everyone has the same things that we do, so today we remember how important it is to look after one another and to share what we have. When we share, we show kindness. And when we work together, we can make a much bigger difference than we can on our own. That is what makes our school such a special community. We are all different, but we belong together. Whether we are learning, helping, laughing or celebrating, we are stronger when we work as a team.

So today, as we celebrate Harvest, let’s remember three important words: sharing, togetherness and gratitude.
Let’s be thankful for what we have…
…let’s remember those who have less…
…and let’s celebrate the kindness that brings us together.

Sevenoaks Larder is a support service that helps residents of Sevenoaks who are struggling to pay for their basic weekly shop. We would like to thank you for your generous donations which will be taken to Sevenoaks Larder where we know they will be greatly appreciated.
