To help alumni celebrate the school’s 140th anniversary, in the spring we launched the Anniversary Herons project.

Five cute, stuffed-toy herons were shipped off to alumni all over the world for photos to showcase how far and wide our alumni have travelled, inspiring our current pupils. Before their maiden voyage, the herons were named by FHS pupils via a school vote as Heidi, Hector, Horatio, Havika and Hendrix.
To date, over 30 alumni have registered to take part. Destinations visited by our intrepid herons include:
• Beijing, China
• Helsinki, Finland
• Charleston, USA
• Seoul, South Korea
• Ottawa, Canada
• Melbourne, Australia
• Zurich, Switzerland
• Montevideo, Uruguay
• Chennai, India
• …and even Bermuda!
You can see all the cities visited so far on the interactive map below and photos in the gallery.
If you know of any former pupils or staff who would love to host a heron, please get in touch; we would love to have every continent represented!
