Recently, HDS obtained 10 new bikes through funding to teach and develop cycle confidence. Twelve students participated in a 12-week program to develop skills ensuring they can cycle confidently and safely on the roads. Six of these students recently completed the Level 1 & 2 Bikeability course, where they practiced various skills in the playground before applying them on local roads. They worked extremely hard to master these new skills, and all of them passed. Well done to everyone involved!

Monday 8th July was our annual Scholars Recital. This is an amazing evening of music performed by our most talented musicians in the school. The event marked an emotional farewell for some of our Year 11 music scholars, but also gave an opportunity for the younger upcoming musicians to shine. The night was curated expertly by our performance co-ordinator Mr Bosworth, with the rest of the faculty supporting and accompanying at various points during the evening. Any student wishing to become a music scholar must write a written application followed up by an audition in September. If successful they will then become committed to a year of fantastic opportunities and benefits working alongside our music department.

Twenty students from Year 9 and 10 were selected to take part in a Screen Acting Workshop this term with actor Nick Carpenter. Nick has worked in television and theatre, most recently on a new series for Channel 5!
The students learnt about the journey from auditions through to production. They learnt about special effects and how these are created on stage as well as the difficulty of staying in character when filming 18-hour days.
Nick then led them in an audition preparation workshop.
The students gained a fantastic insight into a career in the film and television industry, and we are very grateful for this amazing opportunity.

We already know that learning a musical instrument will enrich your life in so many ways! The question is usually ‘how do I get started?’ HDS recently visited 9 primary schools to inspire the next generation of musicians and answer this exact question.
1. Speak to your parents and carers. Tell them what instrument excites you and that you want lessons.
2. Contact the Cornwall Music Service Trust and fill in a form expressing your interest.
3. Tell your primary school teacher/music lead teacher and they can also help.
4. Often the first thing people think about is buying an instrument. We advise against this initially. Arrange individual or group lessons first, then get specialist advice from your instrumental teacher. It might be best to hire. There may even be some instruments to loan for free! Just ask.
If you'd like to hear more, why not come to our Summer Concert on our school field on the 16th July, 6pm. Enjoy the music then come and have a chat about starting lessons. To book your ticket contact enquiries@humphry-davy.cornwall.sch.uk today!

At 9am on the 5th July our Impact Choir set off for Birmingham for their Music for Youth Performance. The Music for Youth journey started way back in March when HDS Impact Choir stunned a youth music audience and was awarded a place at the National festival. This year, our choir sung a superbly chosen repertoire including, 'Times they are a Changin' Dylan and 'From Now On' Paul & Pasek.
School choirs come in many shapes and sizes. What makes the HDS Impact choir so special is the quality and forensic attention to detail in every note, word and phrase of a performance. The result is a sound so rich, clear, and 'impactful' that one can't help but be moved. This is an opinion also shared by the expert panel of judges on the Friday. The panel recognised the empathy and teamwork from our young people as well as the excellent sound.
"Empathy...singing in a choir allows you to listen and respond to each other in a room and your choir did this beautifully well...melodically fantastic...really strong interpretation of the style".
Our Year 11 soloist Kaycee was also picked out by the panel, "Lovely soloist, beautiful voice...strong and strikingly confident."
Students were impeccably behaved throughout the trip, a real credit to the school. Thank you to Mr Bosworth for organising the trip, our accompanist Abi, drivers Mr Davey and Mr Smith and lastly, a massive thank you to Miss Kleiman who has put in an incredible amount of work into the Impact choir.
