Last night we held a truly special and memorable evening celebrating the achievements of our Year 11 students. It was a joyful occasion filled with pride, reflection, and a real sense of togetherness, as we recognised all that this remarkable cohort has accomplished during their time with us.

We were especially grateful to welcome our guest speaker, Joe Comper (Managing Director of Gillingham FC and a former HTS student), whose inspiring and heartfelt words resonated deeply with everyone present. His reflections and encouragement were a powerful reminder of the journeys our students have taken and the exciting opportunities that lie ahead.

A particular highlight of the evening was celebrating Mahum, who was awarded our most prestigious honour, The Governors Award. This recognition is a testament to her dedication, character, and outstanding contribution to the school community over the past 5 years.

It was a wonderful celebration of resilience, friendship, and achievement, and seeing our students remain onsite taking photos as the sunset long after the event ended is something that will stay with me for a long time. We are incredibly proud of all our Year 11 students and wish them every success as they take their next steps.
