Historic Characters Day
By Keith Coughlan Transition Year
In Hazelwood College, on Thursday 16 October, the Transition Year Programme students brought history to life by becoming their favourite historic figure, under the direction of their teacher Mr Finn.
Everyone in the class dressed up as an historic character they admired. Notable figures included Albert Einstein, Princess Diana, Florence Nightingale, Henri Dunant and many, many more from a variety of backgrounds and eras. The scholars pulled out all the stops and many other students and staff commented on the great work.
The work the students put into the project was, without doubt, a great way to honour our historic heroes, who paved the way for our success today.
