We had a brilliant evening last night celebrating Diwali! #celebrate #boarding #boardingschool #diwali #reigate

[RAA School @RAASchoolGatton]

Our school community had a fantastic evening celebrating Diwali. Lots of great food, energetic dancing and vibrant, beautiful colours. Thank you to the members of our community who enthusiastically shared their culture and food traditions. It was an amazing evening!

Our Hall of Fame often features forgotten heros. All those on display were suggested by our students. #history #historyhero #historyteaching #historyteacher

Really impressed with yr7/8 this morning who were developing their knowledge of #localhistory and studying the history of Gatton! Thanks to @raageog who have given them tours of @gattonpark. #Gatton #reigate #redhill #crosscurricular #history

One of our students recorded their grandparent's experiences of The Second World War for #VEDay75 #VEDay #VEDayAtHome

[RAASHistory&Politics @RAASHistory]

More yummy #VEDay home learning treats! #homeschool #VEDay75 #VEDay2020

[RAASHistory&Politics @RAASHistory]

@Oakwood_history Love this! Good work @Oakwood_history

[RAASHistory&Politics @RAASHistory]

This is a really interesting reflection on #VEDay & it's so important to remember that not everyone was in a celebratory mood. These @daniel_todman 's tweets are definitely worth a read (& no matter which year you are in if you're a @RAASchoolGatton student!). #VEDay75 #VEDay2020

[RAASHistory&Politics @RAASHistory]

More brilliant work coming in! #VEDay75 #VEDay #VEDay2020 #homelearning

[Nigel Stevens @legin_snevets]

While we start celebrating today let's not forget that those who did survive continued, with dignity, to carry enormous emotion and memories that none of us will know.

The flapjacks are also a very popular choice of #homelearning for our Yr7-9 students who are studying #VEDay this week. Look at these yummy treats! #VEDay2020 #VEDay75 #VEDayAtHome

One of our students has made bunting and decorated their house for #VEDay2020! #VEDay #VEDay75 #VEDayAtHome #homelearning

[RAASHistory&Politics @RAASHistory]

Making lemonade from scratch has been a very popular VE Day home learning task among our yr7-9 students. Look at this one! Brilliant stuff! #VEDay2020 #VEDay #VEDay75 #VEDayAtHome #homelearning #homeschool #proudteacher

[RAASHistory&Politics @RAASHistory]

Some more great work coming in from Yr9 for #VEDay #VEDayAtHome #VEDay75 #VEDay2020

[RAASHistory&Politics @RAASHistory]

A lot of our students have decided to hand make lemonade for their #VEDay #homelearning ! #VEDay75 #VEDayAtHome

[RAASHistory&Politics @RAASHistory]
