Holocaust Memorial Event

Posted on: 27/01/2026

A group of CDS pupils had the honour of attending a local Holocaust memorial event, representing the school with maturity, respect, and compassion.

They reflected on the lives lost, and took part in moments of remembrance—acknowledging the importance of standing together against prejudice and hatred in all its forms.

The school is incredibly proud of the thoughtful way that the pupils engaged with such an important part of our shared history. Their willingness to learn, reflect, and represent the school community so positively is truly commendable.
