As the nation went to the polls last Thursday, so did Hasmonean! The Boys’ School organised a mock election and students were provided with an insight into the electoral system and how their own constituencies play a role in the bigger picture.

The lights were dimmed, the hall fell silent and once again, Hasmonean Girls triumphed on stage with a performance of Peter Pan which hooked every member of the audience.

Along with lashings of chocolate, the girls learned about the creation of the Cadbury business which included building the village of Bourneville for the workforce: an early example of ethical entrepreneurship.
