Devon pupils return from 'life changing' history trip
February 28 2011
Year 11 students from Coombeshead College have returned from a history trip to Poland, with one student describing the experience as "awe-inspiring".
The youngsters travelled with their history teacher Sarah Dornan and visited a number of concentration and extermination camps, as well as Krakow city.
Student Ellie Rigby said that even though the excursion was "heart-breaking", it was extremely valuable.
"I think that running the trip to Krakow is a real privilege," Ms Dornan told the publication.
"I get to see the students' shoulders straighten as they learn about themselves through this hard-hitting experience.
"I think you can see by the end of the trip that we've all grown a little."
In related news, the Scottish government recently announced plans to fund a trip to Auschwitz for at least two pupils from every secondary school in the country.
