Student Newsletter: Remembrance Day Special

To commemorate Remembrance Day 2024, students at Priestnall School have created a special newsletter.

The newsletter features stories written by our students on a range of topics related to Remembrance Day:

  • Pages 2-3: Animals in the Great War, by Abbie
  • Pages 4-5: The Malayan Campaign, WWII, by Alex
