On the 28th of February the Sixth and Fifth year Classics and Drama, Film and Theatre studies students flew to Rome bright and early. We were flown there by past pupil Greg, First Officer. This added to the excitement of the trip. We visited the Pantheon where we got to see the sun through the oculus and the sheer scale of the building. This was the first time for many of the students seeing the building. We visited the Capitoline museum where we saw many interesting artifacts most notably the statue of Marcus Aurelius and Commodus on the first day.
Students were tasked with the activity to design their own newspaper called "The Roman Times".
All students submitted excellent entries as part of a 3 week homework task. It was challenging to say the least for staff to select winners! Here are some flavours of the calibre, creativity, innovation and outstanding knowledge and application.
