Platinum Jubilee Schools Week

Eton was heavily involved in the Platinum Jubilee Schools week. Year 12-13 pupils from Eton, The Windsor Boys’ School and the Windsor Girls’ School formed a committee who helped create, plan and run a variety of inter school events.   

There was a beginner's debating event, organised and held at the Jafar Hall at Eton College. After a balloon debate on the favourite monarch there were head-to-head debates. A guest Judge and Richard Doorbar (RJD) ran the event and presented prizes. The Drawing School hosted two afternoons of art workshops for 12 pupils from Eton Porny Primary school. The pupils' work was displayed in the window of the Town Hall to commemorate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.  

The festival of education dinner was held in College Hall. With great thanks to college kitchen staff students from Windsor Boys’ and Windsor Girls’ school helped prepare a meal which they then served to guests in the evening. A joint choir performed the platinum jubilee song at the event.
