Sixth Formers to visit Auschwitz-Birkenau

Later this term Mr Pearson will accompany two Year 12 students to Auschwitz concentration camp in Poland. The visit is part of an accredited course run by the Holocaust Educational Trust.
The day visit to Poland is just one part of the course: before and after the visit the students will take part in seminars in which they hear first-hand testimonies from holocaust survivors  and discuss the lessons that can be learnt from the atrocities.
On completion of the course the students are considered to be 'Ambassadors' for the programme and will themselves give talks and assemblies to the school and the local community.
