We have a Torchbearer!
Megan Yeoman in year 10 has been successfully nominated by Ms Efthymiou as a torchbearer and will have her moment to shine carrying the Olympic Flame on 22nd July 2012. Megan has been selected out of tens of thousands of exceptional nominations that went through to the final stages. Once we know where she will be running we look forward to arranging to cheer Megan along the route.
Young people celebrate launch of London 2012 Olympic Truce programme
Wanstead High School students were very excited recently to hear that a film in which they had featured, celebrating the Olympic Truce, had been shown at the United Nations in New York. A group of year ten students researched the history of the Olympic Truce before being invited to take part in a workshop which was filmed to create a learning resource to be shared via Get Set goes global, part of the official London 2012 education programme.
In addition to the reward of knowing that their film had been part of the London 2012 team’s presentation at the United Nations the students also enjoyed attending the Peace One Day concert which is part of the London 2012 Festival and featured Razorlight, Eliza Doolittle and short films made by young people as part of the Film Nation Shorts project.
The London 2012 Olympic Truce programme offers young people the chance to learn about the Olympic Truce and to take part in sporting and cultural activities which help promote the themes of the Olympic Truce in their schools and communities.
