As part of its Handforth Experience theme, ‘Earth Conscious’, Handforth Primary School proudly participated in the first-ever live assembly broadcast from Antarctica.
The assembly featured Robert Swan OBE, the first person in history to walk to both the North and South Poles, who engaged with students about environmental stewardship and polar exploration. Jenny Cooke from the 2041 Schools charity also joined the session to launch their new education program, encouraging children worldwide to become Antarctica Champions.
Students were given the extraordinary opportunity to experience a live walk around the South Pole camp. Additionally, the school’s Global Ambassadors submitted questions in advance, which Robert Swan addressed during the live session.
This unique educational experience highlighted Handforth Primary’s commitment to raising environmental awareness and inspiring the next generation to take an active role in protecting our planet.
