For Holocaust Memorial Day, our 3rd form heard a live interview with Mala Tribich MBE. After the Nazis invaded Poland, she was forced into a ghetto, used for slave labour, and eventually sent to the notorious Belsen concentration camp, aged 14. A powerful testimony from history. – at Edinburgh, Scotland

It was a close contest but well done to this year's winners, Glencorse! – at Edinburgh, Scotland

Remembrance at Fettes is a reminder of the fact that we are an organic family: the prep school's poppies recall each name on the memorial, and displays tell the stories of our 80th anniversaries in 1944 – at Edinburgh, Scotland
