PIPA Trial
Mental health during childhood and adolescence is very important. Difficulties like anxiety and depression can start when people are young and it is important for young people and their families to understand these difficulties and get support when needed.
The PIPA Trial is exploring the effectiveness of an online resource for parents/carers to help reduce depression and anxiety in young people. The trial is being coordinated by the University of Warwick and involves families of young people aged 11-15 years from schools in the UK.
The trial is free and conducted completely online. Eligible parents/carers and young people will be asked to complete some questionnaires. Parents/carers will then receive access to some online parenting resources: either the standard educational package of fact sheets or the personalised programme with up to nine modules. Parents/carers and young people will also be asked to complete some follow-up questionnaires.
Please see the letter below which gives further about how to sign up.
If you have any questions, please speak to Mrs K Oliver or contact the PIPA trial team at PIPA@warwick.ac.uk or 02476 574316 / 02476 575078.

Huge congratulations to Roisin and Jenna for their amazing success in cross country! Both girls represented HDS at Truro School this weekend competing in the Cornwall Schools cross country competition. They absolutely outdid themselves giving 100% throughout the day. The girls have been training hard, meeting up on Saturdays for sand dune running in preparation for their races to ensure they are race fit! Roisin has been selected for the cross country county squad and will be competing in Loughborough, Kent and London this year. Well done to both of you on your fantastic achievements, keep up the brilliant work, we look forward to hearing of your future successes and wish you the best of luck in your next races!

We have had such a festive week here at HDS! Christmas lunch on Tuesday, our Christmas Music Concert yesterday, Christmas activities in mentor time and don’t forget Christmas jumper day tomorrow! Getting into the Christmas spirit has been a wonderful way to bring this school term to a close. Hearing the magical music coming from the school gym yesterday was enough to get anyone into a Christmassy frame of mind and it was great to hear our students’ polished performances after all their hard work in practice. A big ‘Thank you’ to all that have been involved in creating a special week for our students. Keep your eyes peeled for the videos from yesterday’s music performance which we can’t wait to share with you very soon!

We want to say a huge ‘Congratulations’ to student Kiera who has been having a very busy month indeed. Kiera has spent her spare time designing and creating necklaces to sell and with her profits has bought chocolate selection boxes which she is donating to those in need. A tremendous act of kindness and one that will mean so much to the people who receive them. Your selflessness will make someone’s Christmas this year and you should be immensely proud. ‘Well done’ from everyone here at HDS.

A huge ‘Well Done’ to our Rugby and Netball teams who played against Hayle Academy last week. The opposing teams were great competition and everyone had a great time getting truly stuck in. All students showed determination, changing up their usual routines to further enhance their understanding of different player positions. The students were a credit to our school and showed real sportsmanship. Nice work everyone! Keep it up!

Mrs Hall and Mr McHugh's chemistry class really used their imaginations whilst learning about the history of the atom this week! Having conducted some initial research they created presentations to teach each other about how ideas about the structure of the atom have changed over time as new evidence becomes available, including some ingenious ideas such as reproducing Rutherford's Alpha Particle experiment with marbles and mesh, 3d software to model the planetary model (in which students were invited to spot the deliberate mistake!) and decorated cookies illustrating the plum pudding model! The use of an avocado to model the nuclear model was particularly ingenious! Congratulations Year 9 set 2 for some great teamwork!

Cornish Pirates Rugby player, Nicolas De Battista, visited our Year 9 Spanish class this term. He spoke to us about his life in Argentina before moving to the UK to play rugby. The students had the opportunity to ask him lots of questions about his exciting life. He has been lucky to travel to many different countries with his rugby career and it was inspiring for the students to see how much learning different languages has helped him pursue his dreams! Thank you for visiting us, we look forward to welcoming you back in the future!

The HDS community came together yesterday to wear Odd Socks to mark the start of Anti-Bullying Week.
Odd Socks Day is designed to be fun! It’s an opportunity to encourage everyone to express themselves and celebrate individuality and what makes us all unique!
Odd Socks day is to help raise awareness of bullying and standing together - in a fun and unified way.
This year over 5 million children, 1,000s of parents, 100s of workplaces and lots of celebrities and influencers got involved. From Ant and Dec, Emma Willis, Craig David, Sir Mo Farah, Annamarie to Humphry Davy School!
Well done everyone!

Staff and senior students from Humphry Davy School gathered on Sunday 14th November in remembrance of all those who gave their lives at war.
Rain and Lily were superb ambassadors for the school; supporting the parade through the town and laying a wreath on behalf of our school community.
There were also many of our students brilliantly representing their various uniformed organisations or playing superbly in the band.
It was a poignant remembrance parade and service, much of which was delivered in the Cornish Language.
We will remember them.

Our school community fell silent at 11am this morning to remember those who have lost their lives in conflict, those who have served and their families.
The two minute silence was impeccably observed across the school, and with the Last Post echoing around our school grounds for all to hear, we remembered.
