Introducing the new Hawks logo! - written by Mr Paul Robinson, Director of Sports. Last year saw a period of rebranding of the school sports teams as we moved into our new sports facility. Students and staff voted on the “Hanova Hawks” to be our sports team name.
During the summer work has been done on the designing of the new logo(s) which will appear on our team uniforms for the coming season and beyond.
We are currently working towards creating a relationship with a kit supplier that works with International Schools around China in order to have unique and bespoke kits made which will really help create a sense of identity, belonging and pride to our Hanova Hawks.
