Term 5 2014-15 Dear Parents

Another term has passed already and the exam season is already well underway. I hope our Y11, 12 and 13 pupils are heeding our advice to get a good night's sleep as this has been shown in many studies to be one of the keys to successful learning. As Mr Goodfellow pointed out in his final assembly to our Y11 boys, young minds are able to remember and consolidate material far more effectively if they have slept well. Despite almost everyone knowing someone who swears by 'cramming' the night before an exam, all the evidence suggests that sitting up into the early hours with a pot of strong coffee and revision notes won’t necessarily help! However, attending our revision sessions at school, revising in sensible chunks at home and then sleeping well the night before an exam will be effective and we urge all our boys to try to do this over the exam period.

Our exciting new building is nearing completion and I have been busy working with our team on final details such as the new 84 inch interactive screens now being situated in each room. The new block will without doubt be a fantastic addition for the school. Finally, can I take this opportunity to remind everyone that our summer uniform code begins after the half term break. This simply means that when the weather is hot, boys are not required to wear their blazer to school. However, a jumper of any kind should not be worn as a replacement, if it is cold enough to require one, then it isn’t warm enough to remove a blazer! All other uniform requirements remain in place, most notably the need to wear school ties. I would very much appreciate the support of parents in ensuring all our boys adhere to these simple rules when we return to school.

We were woken on the second day by the ominous sound of rain falling against the tents, dampening the moods of everyone at the campsite. The morning was On the 2nd and 3rd of rather hectic with every group cooking their May, twenty Harvey boys breakfast, packing up and leaving as early as possible from year 9 to Sixth Form to get out of the horrible weather.

The teams had to come up with two routes (there and back) to complete over the weekend. These were planned during the weekly Wednesday DofE meetings (organised by Mr Stearn and Mr Bartlett) and ranged in length from 12-17km and longer depending on how adventurous and energetic the boys felt.

During the first day, the teams started out with high spirits going their separate ways through the rugged countryside of the South Downs. They had to work as a team to successfully navigate their way along their planned routes to the campsite. Along their routes, each team had to pick out specific landmarks as the rain and mud. Fortunately, after yet another hour checkpoints to reassure themselves that they were going in the wrong direction, the year 10 team going the correct way.

On 5th May, musicians from all year groups took part in the Spring Showcase Concert, performing music ranging from Elizabethan lute music (played on electric guitar!) through to James Bond film themes played by the school orchestra and The Harvey Singers’ lusty performance of You’ve got a friend in me from ‘Toy Story’. It was also an opportunity to say farewell to several of our senior students who are leaving at the end of this year and heading to university where I am sure they will continue to make a great contribution to musical ensembles, as they have done in their time here at The Harvey.

Having said goodbye to some of our most advanced students, the following day we welcomed 600 pupils from primary schools across Shepway who were just starting out on their musical journeys. They brought recorders, violins, trumpets, hand bells, djembe drums and ukuleles with them to perform to each other pieces that they had

been working on in their own schools, and to join all together in a number of whole group pieces including Abba’s Mamma Mia. The Harvey orchestra inspired them with their performance, and many of them said how they wanted to be able to play in a group that good in the future.

Thank you to all the boys who made both events such a success, both on the day itself, and all the hours of practice and preparation that goes on unseen beforehand.

Next term you can hear the Harvey Big Band playing on the Leas Cliff Band Stand on Saturday 27 June and Saturday 18 July (times still to be confirmed) – look out for details nearer the time!

In the run up to the 2015 General Election the question the candidates, leading to some rather Harvey decided to organise a mock election in lively debate. school. Students stepped forward to represent some of the major parties and put together posters and in some cases a campaign team to raise awareness and support.

In tutor times an initial poll was taken of students' views with the Monster Raving Loony Party and UKIP coming out on top.

The week of the election votes were cast and the result of the election was very surprising with the Green party coming out on top with the Conservatives in second place by only two votes.

Party representatives made appearances in assemblies the week before the general election and spoke with confidence about the party policies outlined in the election manifestos.

At the end of the week a hustings was held in the hall which gave students the opportunity to Thank you to all students who contributed to such an exciting event in school and well done to the Green Party for their victory.

On the 5th May Givaudan were invited back to the school to test our 6th form students as part of their ongoing Anosmia research project. This global research, which has never been investigated before, is looking at the differences between how young and old people have different abilities to smell.

Not only is sensitivity to different aromas being researched but also different aromas seem to be able to be perceived differently by the old and young.

Givaudan were delighted with their initial trials at the Harvey in November and were keen to work with our sixth form again to identify six smells and rate their intensity.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the sixth form their sterling work throughout.

The Sixth Form Chemists will be able to see the results of the data when they visit Givaudan later this year.

Shane Record, the celebrated local artist and former pupil of the school has once again set his skills to painting at the Harvey. Many of you may remember that he produced an outstanding painting of the outside of the main building last year, with that image now appearing on the front page of The Harveian.

This time Shane once again visited the school to create an oil painting of the interior of our main building that he has called “Echoes of School”. If you are interested in the creative process for producing this image, Shane has posted a video clip www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmk5YFprqBk that fully illustrates this.

Additionally, if you wish to purchase your own copy in any number of the formats that are available, Shane’s store is located at the top of the Old High Street in Folkestone - visit www.shanerecord.com for further details.

By Jack Black (EJ1) On Thursday March 5th 2015, a number of Year 7, 8, and 9 boys from Endeavour house were fortunate to join in the We Day celebrations that took place at the Wembley Arena. What is it? – Every young person has the power to change the world! We believe in supporting this potential by educating today’s students about the greatest local and global issues of our time. We believe in bringing a generation together by proving that no one is alone in their desire for change. We believe in celebrating the actions of young people and inspiring them to redefine what is possible.

We were joined by in excess of 2,000 other school children as well as many famous people, including Martin Sheen (Emmy Award and Golden Globe winning Actor and Activist), Sir Richard Branson and Professor Muhammad Yunus (Nobel Peace Laureate) and many more performers, activists and motivational speakers.

The main focus of the event was strengthening the global message Me to We! So that We can change the world. We were treated to a number of motivational talks on a variety of global issues and initiatives including; making coffee a fuel source so it doesn't go to waste and people riding bicycles across parts of Africa to raise money for villages and donating the bikes to children in the villages at the end of the ride. It was truly a memorable trip, one of which many of us will never forget!

Joe Smith has been strutting his stuff on the stage again, this time playing the role of Gaston in a production of Beauty and the Beast at the Tower Theatre.

A full report of Joe’s performance will appear in later editions. However, the editor would like to take this opportunity to correct an error in a previous edition (Term 3) where it was wrongly stated that Joe’s appearance in Macbeth was his debut performance.

Toby achieved a very respectable 6th place; outstanding considering his cause was not helped due to a bad cough/chest infection that he had picked up in the lead up.
