This month Year 10 Geography students visited Long Rock to investigate their physical fieldwork hypothesis: “Do the benefits of the Penzance coastal defences outweigh the costs?”.
Students looked at the rock armour and the revetment along the coastal path and completed an environmental quality survey, considering the appearance, cost and effectiveness of the management strategy when evaluating its effectiveness at reducing coastal erosion and flooding. Students also completed numerous wave counts to determine whether the waves approaching the coastline were constructive or destructive; enabling them to decide whether the coastal defences were needed or not. Finally, students also mapped the surrounding land use to determine whether significant infrastructure in the local area would be at risk of flooding without the coastal defences.
This data, supported with secondary data, will be presented and analysed by students back in school allowing them to evaluate the costs and benefits of the coastal management schemes in Penzance.

Parents: are you using Satchel:One regularly?
As a parent or carer, you can log into Satchel:One and have oversight of your child’s school life! It's a great way to stay up to date and allows you to keep track of school life via notifications of your choosing, wherever you are.
To create a Satchel:One account, you will need a Parent Code. You can obtain this from your child's Satchel:One account.
We would love all parents to be using Satchel regularly to have conversations about school when your child gets home!

On Friday Science week started with a bang, or more accurately a WOOOF!
Sergeant Little of Devon and Cornwall Police visited HDS with his victim recovery dogs to talk to students about his role in the police force and the capabilities of his amazing dogs.
A selection of Year 7 and 10 students had the opportunity to see them in action as Skye the Sprocker found bandages hidden around the drama hall and Rex the 2 year old German Shepherd worked the room to the delight of everyone! Sargent Little captivated the audience with his in-depth accounts of how the dogs work and form an invaluable asset in keeping us all safe.
We are massively grateful to Sargent Little, Skye and Rex for their valuable time. Science week runs for the rest of this week and has similar fascinating activities to open the mind to new possibilities.
