Massive congratulations to HDS 2020 leaver, Luca, who was selected to dance on the Live final of The Voice UK! Luca travelled to London for a week of rehearsals with five other dancers and performed in three numbers on the show including the judges opening song!
What a fantastic opportunity! Luca was the youngest of the dancers and for his first professional job, this is an extremely popular Saturday night ITV show, televised live so he certainly dived straight in at the deep end. Luca loved every minute and described it as 'intense and hard work' but 'amazing'.
He continues to train at The Big Dance Company in Penzance with his mentor Lukas Mcfarlane while studying at Penwith College. Well done Luca, we are extremely proud to hear of your achievements and look forwarded to hearing of all your future successes! #HDSAlumni

Thank you to 'the class of 2020’ who have visited us over the past two days to collect their GCSE Certificates and Yearbooks. Whilst it was a very brief visit, it was so great to see you and hear about the wonderful journeys you have embarked upon!
Your time with us got cut short, and although the usual presentation evening was unable to happen, we hope you enjoy your yearbook; filled with all the wonderful memories you created during your school life.
If you were unable to collect your pack please do get in touch with us.
Be sure to sign up to our alumni association, we would absolutely love to stay in touch! https://www.humphry-davy.cornwall.sch.uk/2345/hds-alumni-association

In Creative Arts, students have been exploring new material and continuing to demonstrate their creativity! Introduced to Shadow Puppetry during the most recent lockdown, students have been learning about the history of the genre, through to the practical creative processes. We have put together a short video which demonstrates just some of the amazing imaginative work produced by our fantastic students!

Today is #NationalDayofReflection, marking one year since the first coronavirus lockdown was announced. We could not be more proud of how well our incredible students and staff have coped during these unprecedented times. They have risen to all challenges during a time in their lives when many of our students are making big decisions, thinking about their futures and learning so much about themselves. At 12pm today our community will fall silent to reflect on the year that has passed and our condolences will go out to all those who have been bereaved during the pandemic. We are all looking forward to brighter days to come, here's to the FUTURE!

This Friday we will be celebrating Red Nose Day! This year it’s never felt more important to have some fun and raise money to support people living incredibly tough lives.
We are encouraging all our students to wear red this Friday and bring with them a donation of £1 to help raise funds for Comic Relief charities. If we raise our target of £850 on the day, the whole school will get the opportunity to see Mr Marshall being ‘gunged’! In addition to students bringing in a donation to school on Friday, friends and family can also help us meet our target by donating here https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/humphry-davy-school-rednoseday21
We promise to share the photos with you! #rednoseday2021 #comicrelief2021

During October of last year, Year 9 student Thea became the regional winner of the Shell ‘Bright Ideas Challenge’. Yesterday Thea received her prize….her very own 3D printer! The printer will enable Thea to continue with her creative STEM and design projects at home. We can’t wait to hear about more of her ‘bright ideas’ and see what she creates on this awesome gadget! Congratulations Thea!
