Siobhan Barnes, head of year 11 at Helston Community College told the Packet that the students and staff had a great time and shared her highlight from the evening. She said: “A group of our male students, spontaneously started singing Cornish folk music.
“It wasn’t something we had planned, they just started singing folk songs together. It was incredible to see.”
