On Remembrance Sunday, 12 November, students from the ECP attended the annual Remembrance Day Ceremony. The event is regularly organised by the British Embassy at the Commonwealth War Cemetery in Olšany. On this day, we remember all the men and women who fought and died during WW1, WW2 and subsequent conflicts.
The students helped Beavers and Scouts from the 1st Prague Scouts Group to lay religious symbols on the graves of those who died in the service of their country and who are buried here in Prague.
The Ambassador then invited the students to the Embassy to the traditional Curry Lunch.
11 November is Armistice Day. All this week, the ECP community is raising money for the Royal British Legion’s Poppy Appeal. Students Michal Zapletal
and Natálie Brízová have organised assemblies to talk about the work of the RBL. They and the Student Council are selling the famous red poppies to help ex-servicemen and women and their families.
Years 4 and 6 also had the opportunity to hear from Major General Dvořák of the Czech army and 96-year-old air force veteran, Brigadier General Vranský. They talked about the Czechoslovak forces’ contribution to WWII. Also on the panel was Euan Edworthy. Euan raised the money for the Winged Lion memorial at Klárov to ensure that their contribution is permanently commemorated in Prague.
Alfred was in London over October half term as part of the English College Foundation’s work experience programme. This gives ECP students an opportunity to spend a week in London sampling the world of work. Participating organisations are as
diverse as the House of Commons, Chatham House, the Orange Tree Theatre, a GP’s surgery and legal, commercial and investment firms.
