Devonport High School For Girls

DHSG Alumni Afternoon

Dear Alumni, We are delighted to invite you to the Devonport High School for Girls Alumni Event...

Sports Day 2026 Champions – Hartland! Congratulations to Hartland, our Sports Day 2026 champions! What a fantastic couple of days it has been. From the first activities yesterday morning to the final relay races this afternoon, students demonstrated everything that is special about our school community. The enthusiasm, determination, resilience and sportsmanship on display were exceptional. Whether competing, officiating, supporting teammates or cheering from the sidelines, students represented their houses and our school with pride. A special mention must go to our House Captains, whose leadership, energy and encouragement helped create such a positive atmosphere throughout the day. They led from the front and inspired their teams to get involved and give their best. Thank you also to our wonderful Sixth Form helpers, who played a huge role in making the day run smoothly. Their willingness to support events, encourage younger students and help behind the scenes was invaluable. The day was made even more memorable by the dramatic staff vs Sixth Form relay, with the Sixth Form team narrowly taking victory by a fraction of a second! We also loved seeing our new house mascots making their Sports Day debut. They looked fantastic and brought even more colour, fun and house spirit to the occasion, helping Edgcumbe, Saltram, Hartland, Kitley and Flete proudly showcase their identities. A huge thank you goes to all staff who helped make the day such a success, whether running events, recording scores, supervising students or taking part themselves. Sports Day is always a whole-school effort and today's atmosphere reflected that perfectly. Finally, an enormous thank you to Mrs Rowe. The amount of work required to plan, organise and deliver an event of this scale is immense, yet every detail was carefully considered and expertly coordinated. Sports Day is one of the highlights of the DHSG calendar and today's success is a testament to Mrs Rowe's dedication, hard work and commitment to providing such a brilliant experience for our students. Well done to Hartland, thank you to everyone who took part, and thank you to Mrs Rowe and all involved for creating another unforgettable Sports Day. #SportsDay2026 #HartlandChampions #HousePride #TeamDHSG #OpportunityNurtureAchieve

The afternoon brought plenty of excitement to the track and field events, with sprint races, sack races, space hopper races and relays keeping competitors and spectators entertained throughout. There was a fantastic atmosphere as students gave their all for their houses, encouraging teammates and celebrating every success. The staff vs Sixth Form relay provided a dramatic finale, with the Sixth Form team just edging the win by the narrowest of margins, a photo finish and a brilliant way to end a memorable day of competition! #SportsDay #HousePride #TeamDHSG
