Remembrance Trip to Belgium

This week students experienced two days of powerful learning and reflection as they explored the cemeteries, memorials and museums of Ypres and the surrounding Salient.

From Lijssenthoek and Langemarck to Tyne Cot, the girls engaged with stories of courage, sacrifice and remembrance. The trip culminated at the Menin Gate, where Lola and Orla laid a wreath on behalf of our school community.
