Year 7 Remembrance Competition

Year 7 students were invited to take part in a competition to create a memorial to commemorate the centenary of the end of World War 1. We had a very high number of entries and the standard was incredibly high.  Dr Bird judged the competition and chose Kirtivasan Sunder Subramaniah of 7A for the first place prize of a £20 Amazon voucher and 10 merits. His memorial was detailed, thoughtful, a tremendous amount of effort had clearly gone into this and demonstrated links with the school. Well done! The two runner up places went to Ben Whiteoak of 7G and Joshua Holdsworth of 7N. Both boys created unique and creative memorials, with Joshua even composing and performing an original song dedicated to the Old Boys of HGS. On behalf on the History Department, I would like to thank all students who took the time to create fantastic memorials to commemorate the fallen soldiers of World War 1.
