A brilliant day for our most able Year 10 students at Harris Invictus.

They explored what it truly means to be human through powerful student presentations, followed by a thought‑provoking philosophy session on perspectives, differences, and the way our opinions shape the world.

Well done to Year 7 and 8 students who completed an outstanding number of Bedrock lessons!

To celebrate, they enjoyed a reward trip to watch How to Train Your Dragon (2025) based on the book by Cressida Cowell, and made possible by Into Film.

We’re so proud of your hard work!
