We’ve had a fabulous day today at our annual Careers Fair. With every student able to engage with a huge range of employers and education providers, there was certainly a ‘buzz’ in the air! Many thanks to all of the exhibitors for providing a wonderful and inspirational experience for all our students. It was great to see so many engaging opportunities; enabling all students from Year 7 upwards to think about their future life goals and find out more about how to reach them.
It was also fantastic to see so many of our parents and carers taking the opportunity to visit the event with their children after school.
What an amazing day!

Last night our Year 7 students ‘slept with the sharks’ at Plymouth Aquarium! What an exciting overnight stay...complete with a movie in front of the biggest tank, and a midnight snack!
Up early this morning, our students enjoyed breakfast overlooking the water, before heading to Plymouth Bowl for a couple of games and lunch.
I'm sure we'll be hearing more about their adventures upon their return!

Members of the Penzance community gathered on Sunday at St Mary's church for a very special service commemorating Queen Elizabeth II.
Our senior prefects were involved in the ceremony, invited to lay a rose on the book of condolences and to receive a commemorative candle. It was a beautiful service which reflected on the late Queens service; relationships; community and the future.
It was a privilege to represent Humphry Davy School.
