Our group of Year 12 historians competed last week at the National Memorial Arboretum as part of a JTMAT History Competition, winning the trophy for 1^st place amongst 6 other secondary schools in the Trust. Judges watched their 10-minute presentation on their memorial of choice from the NMA (the September Twin Towers Memorial for Fire & Rescue Services – 25 years on) and were incredibly impressed with their clarity, confidence and ability to present without the aid of cue cards. Our historians recounted the personal stories of those impacted that day – from the office workers of the World Trade Centre, to the passengers and flight attendants of the planes, to the brave fire and rescue teams who helped the survivors. Their dedication to this project – from research, to delivery – is testament to their incredible teamworking, historical and public speaking skills. Well done Year 12 historians – we are so proud of you achieving 1^st place!
