HISTORY<br />
The History department at Christ the King is once again participating in the First World<br />
War Centenary Battlefield Tour Programme in 2018. We have the opportunity for 2 student<br />
ambassadors to represent the school on this visit to Belgium and France as part of a larger<br />
cohort of young people from other schools around the United Kingdom from March 16 th – 19 th<br />
2018.<br />
The three days feature visits to memorials, cemeteries and battlefields in both France and<br />
Belgium and attendance at the ceremony of the Last Post. All costs for transport, food and<br />
accommodation are covered as part of the programme.<br />
We can only offer places to two History students and as such we would like to reward on merit<br />
students who feel they have a passion for History and would particularly benefit from this<br />
experience. Students who attend the tour will be involved in presenting to younger students<br />
about their experiences.<br />
We would like interested students to write an essay of no more than 400 words entitled “Is<br />
remembrance more or less important 100 years on?” This should be handed into Student<br />
Services by the end of Tuesday 19th December. We will select two winning essays and we will<br />
inform the students chosen before the end of term if they have been selected to attend.<br />
