• 🌍 Inclusion Assembly 🌍

  Fri 30 Jan 2026

  On Thursday morning our boys and girls were treated to something a little bit different in assembly. Four wonderful young men told us all about their moves to Richhill from the Philippines, Ukraine and Afghanistan. They explained to us what life was like in their homelands, what they miss from home, what they have come to love about life in Richhill and at Hardy Memorial, and even taught us how to say thank you in their first languages. We are so proud to have you here! 🇵🇭 🇺🇦 🇦🇫 

  Salamat po, дякую, tashakor - thank you! ❤️
