What Year 7 boys say...

Everyone was in Year 7 once. We asked Mohammed, Abdulahi, Ty-Rhys, Joshua and Dylan (pictured below) to look back on their first weeks at Harris Dulwich Boys. The five all came from different primary schools - Oliver Goldsmiths, Brunswick Park, Goose Green, Rathfern and Heber – but all managed to make new friends and settle in well.
