Our Year 7 rugby team recently took part in the annual West Cornwall festival at Richard Lander School in Truro. The players started with a win against Pool Academy followed by a draw with St Ives School. Victories against Richard Lander and Hayle then followed with Will and Thomas scoring some excellent tries throughout. Well done to all of the players involved.

Yesterday our Morocco students visited a rock archway at Legzira beach. Our surfers were wowed by the geographical formations; naturally formed by decades of erosion. Whilst on the beach they also enjoyed camel rides across the sand.
After spending the afternoon at the local beach enjoying their last surf session in Morocco, our surfers retuned to the villas for a traditional Moroccan evening of dancing and local food.
A fabulous day was had by all!

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it, or it's been deleted.

On Sunday, our Morocco surf students took a break from surfing and visited the ancient town of Tiznit. The markets were a sight to behold and the students enjoyed practicing their bartering skills. The afternoon was spent back at the beach before they headed back for dinner.

After a very long journey, our surfers have arrived in Morocco for 6 jam-packed days of surfing and sightseeing.
Staying in privately owned villas (less than 500 metres away from some of the world's most consistent, clean and empty waves), our annual surf trip is an amazing opportunity for our students to experience the unique cultural diversity and sense of community in the traditional Berber fishing village of Mirleft.
On Wednesday evening, after checking in to their villas, they had just enough time to catch the waves for a sunset surf!
Yesterday, after an 8.15am wake up call, our students enjoyed breakfast at the villa before travelling to Plage Sauvage beach for their morning surf session. After lunch, they spent the afternoon in the sea...working up an appetite for their evening meal.
With a dip in the swimming pool before bed, everyone certainly slept well after a busy day at the beach!
Be sure to check back for further updates.

The Penzance Twinning Association’s aim is to promote international friendship and understanding through links with our twinned towns in Australia, Brittany, Germany and the USA.
Their work is dedicated to helping our schools, sporting organisations, clubs, and other groups to forge links with those in our twin towns.
As part of the twinning association cycle of events, Cuxhaven School students and their teachers flew over from Germany to Penzance. The students from Cuxhaven school have enjoyed a wide package of adventures across the county and came to Humphry Davy School on Thursday 17th October to have a tour of the school, meet some of our young people, enjoy a saffron bun breaktime and take part in a music scholars workshop – where they learnt ‘Cornwall my Home!’
In previous years we have taken music tours to Cuxhaven and we really value this special friendship across the schools.

Year 7 camp was so much fun last week! The students enjoyed a variety of activities whilst getting to know one another and making new friends. Camp is always a great way for our new cohort to start settling into life at HDS and it is just lovely watching their confidence grow day by day.
