Weekly Reflections: One Love building a stronger community
This week I had the pleasure of addressing the whole of the senior school in assembly. I applauded the students for their contributions to school life over the last six weeks – it has been very busy with Chinese New Year celebrations and much sport, music and drama taking place – and thanked them, and colleagues, for all their support in helping me to feel so settled. I can’t believe I have only been here for six weeks; in the best way it feels longer.

Breaking barriers in STEM: How RHB empowers girls to lead the future
Throughout history there have been many women who have greatly contributed to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). While names like Jocelyn Bell Burnell and Jane Goodall are familiar to most, there are many others who may not be as familiar; women who are leaders in their fields, who made major discoveries, and whose work led to critical social and political change. Here at RHB, and indeed within the GDST as a whole, we encourage girls to learn without limits and without traditional gender stereotypes, in the hope that we can develop the future leaders in STEM.
