 Year 11s had their practice interview with Our Futures today. 20 business guests representing industry, business, planning, education, law, creativity, the arts, medical and pharmacy, gave up their time to interview students and help prepare them for the wider world.  Nitzan Schlezinger speaking to KD Campus 6th Form students. KDHS 6th form was privileged to hear from Nitzan Schlezinger this morning in an extended assembly marking the 1st anniversary of the October 7th massacre in Southern Israel. Miss Schlezinger spoke about her father who was a paramedic at the Nova Festival and was tragically murdered by Hamas terrorists. Miss Schlezinger relayed her father’s story of that dreadful day with numerous anecdotes and stories that portrayed her father as the hero that he was. He was able to save lives even though his own was forfeit to evil. We, as the KDHS community, pledge to light a candle tonight in his memory, as well as in the memory of the other 1200 victims of terror. May their memories be a blessing, and may the lighting of our candles continue to dispel the darkness we are witnessing around us. Am Yisroel Chai.  Sasha Dobkin Year 8 had her induction at Blackpool FC following her selection to their elite coaching pathway programme. This is a 30-week programme where she will receive coaching from UEFA-qualified staff and players from the Blackpool FC Ladies First Team!
 The National Skills Challenge is a UK-wide skills building and enterprise programme where students worked in teams to design, promote, and pitch innovative solutions to real-world problems. This engaged students in tasks such as idea generation, product design, and marketing, culminating in a “Dragons’ Den” style presentation competition. Today Y12s took part in this challenge which aligns perfectly with our commitment to fostering creativity, teamwork, and entrepreneurial thinking in our students. The skills they will develop through this process—such as problem-solving, collaboration, and presenting ideas—are invaluable for their future careers and personal development. Two winning teams will be selected from our school to advance to the national finals, where they will have the chance to pitch at NatWest HQ in front of a panel of judges. This is not only a great experience but also a fantastic opportunity for them to grow in confidence and showcase their talents on a national stage. This is a fully funded opportunity for our students and encourages them to tap into their energy and enthusiasm, and especially it equips them with skills that will benefit them far beyond the classroom.  We welcome to all the new Year 7s to King David High School and wish them the greatest and happiest 7 years ahead making memories together. And, as you can see, many more hot lunches and smiles.

Schools and youth organisations across the UK in are celebrating Safer Internet Day 2023. Safer Internet Day is a global campaign to promote the safe and responsible use of technology, which calls on children and young people, parents, carers, teachers, social workers, law enforcement, companies, policymakers and more, to help to create a better internet. Using the internet safely and positively is a key message that we promote in school and celebrating Safer Internet Day is a great opportunity for us to re-emphasise the online safety messages we deliver throughout the year. We would be delighted if you could join us in celebrating the day by continuing the conversation at home. To help you with this, the UK Safer Internet Centre have created some free activities and information for parents and carers. Whether you have 5 minutes to start a conversation or hours to spare, there are top tips, quizzes and films which you can use at home with your child. If you have any concerns or questions about keeping your child safe online, please do get in touch with your child’s class teacher or the Designated Safeguarding Lead.

Year 12 Work Experience Week gives students the opportunities to sample office life, field work and to see how they could fit in to real world business and working environments.
Please click on this link and read the thoughts and reflections from Isla Abelson and Sam Pundick on their Work Experience Week. This year, 8 yr12 students have been taking part in an industry mentoring scheme run by ORT Jump, based in London. We are the first school outside of London to take part. Adiela Levine, Maia Lurie, Emily Radivan, Ayala Aronson, Ari Cohen, Grace Silvert, Freya Taylor, Max Shalks have all gained a huge amount from working with a mentor in their chosen industry, receiving advice, and tips about what it is like to work in that career. 3 travelled to London on 4th July and received graduation certificates alongside their London-based peers. The great success this year owes to participant enthusiasm and diligence and we congratulate them all - well done! We look forward to these students being ambassadors for next year's cohort and for this partnership to go from strength to strength. |
