St John's Catholic Comprehensive, Kent
Following visits to St John’s Catholic Comprehensive School in 2015 and 2017, War Memorials Trust were delighted to be invited to the school’s Year 7 History Day again in June 2018. The focus of the day was Remembrance and Commemoration. War Memorials Trusts Learning Officer was one of a number of visitors who worked with and spoke to the year 7 students on the day. Other visitors included a Normandy veteran, a local historian, a local collector of World War I and II artefacts and a member of staff from the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. This year, pupils from two other local schools were also invited along to listen to the talks and find out how to research the name on their local war memorial.
St John's Catholic Comprehensive School, Kent
War Memorials Trust was contacted by St John’s Catholic Comprehensive School in May 2015. The school was keen to work with the Trust on two events. The first was the school’s commemorations of the end of World War II. Pupils in Years 7 to 9 had been focusing on this and the school planned to hold a History Day with various speakers coming in to help pupils better understand the war and its impact. The second was a Careers Day for Year 9 pupils, at which War Memorials Trust was asked to speak to pupils about careers in the heritage sector.
