Report on the 125th Anniversary Schools’ Competition

To celebrate the 125th Anniversary and to raise the profile of Hellenic Studies in schools, the Society launched a national Schools Competition on ancient Greece with art themes, factual projects and essays. There were 4 categories: KS2 (Primary); KS3 (Junior); KS4 (Intermediate); and KS5 (Sixth-Form/Senior). The Schools Sub-Committee were delighted to receive 171 entries from 26 different schools. In particular the Society enjoyed the excellent artwork by junior pupils. The Society awarded generous cash prizes as well as books videos and other materials on Greece.
