The Year 7 girls’ hockey team delivered a strong and determined performance at their recent tournament, finishing with three wins, one draw, and three losses. The team showed great resilience and teamwork throughout the matches. Special mention goes to Florence, who led superbly as captain, and Chelsea, whose consistent and reliable defending played a key role in the team’s performance. Well done to all involved for their commitment and effort.

A huge WELL DONE to all of the cricket teams who have represented HDS in the recent Indoor Cricket Tournaments! You have competed brilliantly, and we couldn’t be prouder of the results you’ve achieved.
Every single one of you threw yourselves into the sport, and the team spirit on display was outstanding. At HDS, we’re all about ‘getting involved’ and you absolutely delivered! Whether this was a brand-new sport or you were back for another season as a dedicated team member, your commitment and enthusiasm shone through.
Special shout-outs to our Year 8 and U15 teams for returning for another competitive season, and a massive congratulations to both the Year 7 Girls and Year 7 Boys on making their first-ever finals appearance!
Best of luck to all four of our teams heading into the finals. Go HDS!

Last week we hosted our annual Careers Fair, and what a great day it was! It was brilliant to hear so many enthusiastic conversations full of inspiration and guidance.
Students had the opportunity to meet representatives from a wide range of career sectors, including engineering, hospitality, accounting, the armed forces, health, teaching, catering, dance, sport, performing arts, and more!
In addition, colleges, universities, sixth forms, and training providers were also in attendance, providing details about various qualifications and possible next steps - helping to inspire ideas and ambitions for the future.
We would like to say another big thank you to everyone who attended. This fantastic event wouldn’t be possible without you.

🌟 Big Club News! 🌟
Huge congratulations to our very own Rory Trathen on being selected for Cornwall U20s 👏🔥
A massive achievement and a moment to be proud of – all the hard work, graft, and commitment paying off. Rory continues to show exactly what the St Ives pathway is all about, and we couldn’t be happier to see him pulling on the black and gold at county level.
Best of luck with the campaign, Rory – the whole club is right behind you 💪
Up the Hakes! 🖤💛

Our Year 7 football team faced an exceptionally strong team on Thursday and despite a tough defeat, they showed real bravery and character throughout. From the first whistle, they worked hard to stay organised and kept chasing every ball, even as the pressure mounted. The match was made even more challenging by the rain, (making it difficult to control the ball or build attacks) but all players demonstrated resilience, teamwork and determination. On to the next fixture!

Last week, a group of budding artists and geographers visited the Jackson Foundation to explore the work of local artist Kurt Jackson and his series of paintings inspired by the geography and landscapes along the River Fal.
Our students had a fantastic time taking part in a workshop led by Rachel Lochhead in the gallery in St Just. They were encouraged to study Kurt Jackson’s paintings and consider how his work gives a voice to the nature and wildlife of the river, before creating some brilliant cardboard sculptures inspired by these ideas. Working in small groups, the students produced their impressive sculptures in under an hour — and they are now on display in our gallery!
A big thank you to Rachel and the Jackson Foundation for welcoming us into the gallery and providing such a valuable experience. We’re really looking forward to visiting again with more students next week.

The Year 7 Boys recently competed in their very first Indoor Cricket tournament, and what a debut it was! With many of the boys playing cricket for the first time, they showed fantastic effort, teamwork, and determination throughout.
Every student played their part in batting, bowling, and fielding, earning themselves a well-deserved place in the finals.
Well done boys, keep it up and good luck!

Last Tuesday, our Year 8 Boys’ football team hosted the first round of the cup. The boys played brilliantly, staging a spirited comeback from being 2 – 1 down to secure a fantastic 4 – 2 win.
A huge well done to our Player of the match, Jack, who netted two goals, and Kirby who secured the other to seal the win.
This fantastic result sees the team progress to the next round. Best of luck boys! We’re all cheering you on!

On Tuesday 13th January, our Year 7 girls took part in their first indoor cricket tournament. Some of the team had never played cricket before but thoroughly enjoyed themselves, winning both of their games!
A special mention goes to the team captain, Flo, who hit an incredible 23 runs in one over! The girls learned new skills and all played a massive part in their success.
They will now play in the finals later this term. Well done girls and good luck!

With the countdown to our musical well and truly underway, three of our talented students, along with music teacher Mr Street, visited BBC Radio Cornwall on Friday to chat about their upcoming roles in Bugsy Malone.
The students were interviewed by presenter Neil Caddy and enjoyed an exclusive behind the scenes tour of the studios - a great experience that they absolutely loved! They simply couldn’t hide their excitement and enthusiasm ahead of their opening night on Thursday 12th February.
