🎬Our boarders enjoyed a fun red carpet moment as they arrived for a special movie night on Tuesday. After posing up a storm, they settled down into comfy beanbags in the music room to enjoy a film whilst tucking into popcorn and sweet treats. Did you know? We offer flexi-boarding Monday-Thursday to children from Year 3 upwards. Pupils can board on a regular basis from 1-4 nights per week or on an ad hoc basis. It's the perfect introduction to boarding and great preparation for those looking to board at their senior schools. Every pupil enjoys a free trial night to experience the fun of a Heath Mount sleepover with friends. 🌐Find out more by visiting www.heathmount.org/boarding

Our Year 8s and staff said a fond farewell to the team and patients at Twende Education For All yesterday. The Lusaka-based charity provides a lifeline to families of children undergoing long-term hospital treatment, supporting the children’s education and providing play therapy. A huge thank you to Twende founder Andrea for welcoming us into the new outdoor learning hub and explaining Twende’s impact on young lives. Our pupils loved getting involved in playtime and making new friends. We are so proud to be able to support Twende and sponsor some of the teacher salaries to enable their inspiring work to continue. For our senior pupils, their visit to Twende shows just how much impact their fundraising can make. #zambia #twendeeducationforall #charity #community #makeadifference

With their trip to Zambia drawing to a close, Year 8 fitted in an incredibly special visit to @chaminukalodge back in Lusaka Province - home to over 70 animal species. Year 8 pupils loved meeting the elephants and spotting lions, zebras, buffalo and more! 📸A big thank you to Headmaster Mr Gillam for the amazing photography. Come back tomorrow to find out how their visits went with our partner charity Twende Education For All. #memoriestokeep #ZambiaWildlife #safari #schooltrips

Thanks to the generosity of Heath Mount families, our Year 8 pupils were able to deliver a bumper supply of baby clothes and medical equipment to the local health clinic in rural Namoomba yesterday. Over at Namoomba School, pupils also handed out new school caps for all the children as well as some play equipment before getting to work painting a classroom. We couldn't be prouder of our Year 8s for getting stuck in, embracing new experiences and building connections with their peers in Zambia. 🌍 This unforgettable trip is about so much more than travel! Our pupils are discovering the value of making a positive difference in the world around them. It's an opportunity to learn from others, challenge perspectives, grow in confidence, empathy and independence, and develop a deeper understanding of what it means to be active and responsible global citizens. Check back in tomorrow to see some more incredible wildlife encounters! #charity #community #zambiatrip #learningjourney #privateschool #schooltrip
