On Thursday 22nd January, 40 of our Year 9 students participated in Chichester Marks Holocaust Memorial Day. They viewed the powerful film ‘One Life’, which tells the true story of Nicholas Winton, a London stockbroker who rescued 669 Jewish children from Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia just before the outbreak of World War II. The film, introduced by Clare Apel - whose ancestor was among the last children saved - highlighted the horrors of the Holocaust while celebrating Winton’s remarkable compassion. Following the film, students engaged in a workshop with the Holocaust Memorial Trust, debating the roles of victims and perpetrators. Through discussions, they examined how the denial of basic rights led to mass persecution and considered the contemporary importance of protecting human rights.

Due to poor weather, the first part of our Forest School session this week took place indoors at the Goodwood Education Trust Building, where students enjoyed a range of activities including team-building challenges and craft work. Once the rain stopped, we headed to the cow farm. Students had the opportunity to meet cows of different ages in the various sheds and to see the robotic milking machines in action. They learned how the system checks, cleans, and milks each cow while monitoring milk quality and health data. Working together in this way reflects how teams collaborate and solve problems in many everyday jobs. An engaging and very interesting day with lots of hands-on learning. #WeTHRIVEatCHS
