Year 8 Classics Taster Day

The Classics Department's biggest annual event on site is our Year 8 Classics Taster Day.
This consisted of an excellent talk on the value of Classics by our own Mr. Cooley as well as a fantastic visit from Portals from the Past, with displays on both Greek and Roman society and soldiery.
We also held our annual Classical Project Competition, in which all the Year 8 Classical Civilisation boys prepared a presentation on a classical topic in groups of 3-4, judged by our Head Master, Mr James Barker.
The two runner-up groups were:
- Seth, Arjun, Fraser and Archie for their presentation on Greek religion, and
- Freddie, Theo, Lucas for their presentation on the Olympic Games.
Congratulations to the winners – Joshua, Max, Barnaby and James - for their presentation on Roman technology. Well done boys!
