More than 400 students and staff of Truro High School for Girls formed a giant heart on the school’s astroturf as part of their celebrations of World Kindness Week.  

The visual statement was part of a week of kindness-related activities at the school, with all pupils tasked with performing acts of kindness in their communities.  

The girls also took time to reflect and write about the importance of being kind with those thoughts turned into a heart-shaped installation as the week progresses. 

Wellbeing is a key part of education at the school, where the entire school day is constructed around the principles of PERMA – positive mental health.  

Senior deputy head Katie Hinks said: “Of all of our school values, kindness comes first.  

“In being kind, we are all winners, because not only does it feel great when someone is kind to you, but you also feel wonderful when you do something kind for another person.   

“I am really excited to have celebrated this special week in such a lovely way.”
