What the school offers its staff
We encourage our students to be critical thinkers and promote these skills throughout the curriculum. A student at Harris Boys' Academy will learn how to engage critically with foreign affairs, religion and society, issues of citizenship and the media, so they acquire the skills, and recognise the value of, thinking for yourself and thinking in a well-reasoned manner.
“We are very lucky to have an amazing staff team who work together, and what you get from this is an inertia of this body of professionals who are striving to be the very best they can be. It is down to these two points – staff who are on board, who want to change futures and want to be better at what they do, and students who buy into this idea of ‘I'm at school because I can make myself a better person and I can flourish in life.' When you have these two points together, which is what we have worked very hard to obtain, then you can make wonderful things happen. And that's shown through our outcomes and is also shown through if you've ever had a chance to speak to the boys and the parents of this school community.” Peter Groves, Executive Principal
