On Friday, Humanities teachers Mr Eccles and Mrs Cauchi took two of Priory's Head Prefects to the South Ribble Holocaust Memorial Day event.

Held at the South Ribble Borough Council civic centre in Leyland, Year 11 Cameron and Martha were each asked to do a reading. Martha chose to read an extract from Anne Frank's Diary and Cameron read a poem about the genocide in Rwanda that occurred 30 years ago this year.

The event was attended by officials from across South Ribble including the Mayor and Mayoress.

Lead teacher for History, Mr Eccles, said, "Naturally I was very proud of both of them as this event re-enforces what we teach here in school about the persecution that led to the Holocaust."
