Words by Henry H
On Wednesday Truro School sailors were lucky enough to hear from British Sailing Team member Hannah Snellgrove.
Hannah, a top Laser Sailor, told us all about her sailing career and her favourite aspects of the sport. It was fascinating to hear what she had to say, and to hear her stories of overcoming various set backs along the journey, something that resonates with us in this time when we can’t be on the water.
Whilst both studying full time as a Cambridge undergraduate and attending Olympic trial events, Hannah learned many valuable lessons about the fine balance between high level sport and education, that she was able to pass on to us. She also told us all about her favourite aspects of the sport: from her most challenging race ever, to her favourite race-day food and she even shared with us her pre-race routine (a very important process usually kept secret by sailors)!
Hearing from somebody so enthusiastic about the sport was refreshing and we look forward to being able to get back on the water soon.

Our school motto, Esse Quam Videri (to be, rather than to seem to be), captures the essence of our identity and is defined by the 5 C's below. Underpinned by strong Christian principles, we are a caring and inclusive community which values, nurtures and develops each individual.
Click on the links below to find out more.
Curiosity to always want to discover and learn more, academically and more widely too.
Because we believe that academic excellence is an important part of human excellence. Every child is an individual and we celebrate and develop their uniqueness, helping them to become an independent learner and encouraging each child to explore, understand and cultivate their talent and abilities, whatever they may be.
Compassion to understand and champion the needs of others, in our community and beyond.
Because our mission challenges us to be a vibrant community which enables people to live their lives to the full and transform society for the better. Located in the heart of Cornwall, our distinctive, serene location supports the development of balanced, unpretentious and reflective children who understand their role as global citizens.
Confidence to build resilience by learning from both successes and failures alike.
Because we want every pupil to be comfortable in their own skin, celebrating the uniqueness of each individual in the school community. Through drama, presenting and public speaking opportunities, as well as appearing in productions and concerts, pupils learn key communication skills and gain the confidence to prosper in the real world.
Creativity to be imaginative in how we express ourselves and approach new challenges.
Because we value the development of pupils’ imaginative and creative dimensions as well as their characters. Through a broad curriculum and wide range of co-curricular activities, pupils discover the important balance between creative and logical thinking. These opportunities are fundamental to ensuring your son or daughter discovers their hidden gifts, developing a sense of individuality and a confidence in their own abilities.
Courage to enjoy becoming the very best of who we are, with integrity and ambition.
Because we believe that essential life skills are often best taught outside of the classroom, balancing an academic education. Through a wide-ranging co-curricular programme, we offer every child the chance to participate, perform and lead in the fields of their choice. In a competitive world these opportunities are fundamental to ensuring your son or daughter develops essential life skills and an ambition for life.
