You didn’t just grow with the school.
You helped define it.
And now the world awaits.
Congratulations, Class of 2025!
Your adventure is just beginning.
After five years, the first graduates of Harrow Shenzhen confidently embark on their next chapter. They embody the spirit of excellence that Harrow represents.

There were nights I stayed up doubting myself — wondering if I was doing enough, or if I was even good enough. And in those moments, it wasn’t just the grades or the goals that pulled me through — it was all of you. A friend’s late-night text. A teacher’s word of encouragement. A laugh shared in the sixth form centre when I needed it most. So finally – my teachers, friends, pupils of Harrow Shenzhen, from the bottom of my heart, I’ll deeply miss you all and thank you for everything.

I know graduation speeches are usually full with lofty ideals and half-forgotten clichés. But it’s my honest hope: that in the years ahead, when life feels too heavy, you’ll remember this moment. Remember the friends who leaned into you when you crumbled, the teachers who stayed late to help you: the moments that made you believe there was something worth living for. Yes, we are Harrow international’s first graduating cohort. We’ve learned, we’ve laughed, we’ve stumbled, and through it all, we’ve lifted each other up.

The Class of 2025 will always hold a special place in my heart. I want you to remember your teachers, who have done more to support you than you will ever fully know. I want you to remember your peers, your House, your tutors.
And I also want you to remember yourselves. Remember what you care about, what you value, what you want for yourself in the future. I know that ultimately, you are just going to be you. And I can promise you all now, that is more than enough.
Harrow Shenzhen extends the warmest of welcomes to all prospective parents and pupils at its Open Events. You will have the chance to meet key staff, visit our outstanding facilities, interact with current pupils and see for yourselves just what makes our School so different.
