Mrs Easton visits Year 2

You are here

Last week, Mrs Easton visited our Year 2 students to talk about Thomas Hassall.

Mrs Easton brought a very special book that was given to Thomas which is over 150 years old. This term, Year 2 have been looking at things from the past. What a great opportunity to find out about who Thomas Hassall was and why our College is named after him, sharing about his involvement in Sunday schools so everyone could learn new things and also about God.

Mrs Easton showed photos of where Thomas Hassall lived; the Denbigh Estate in Cobbitty, which still stands today. 

It was a great time of learning. Year 2 left with an understanding of who Thomas Hassall was, his wonderful legacy of wanting to share the good news of Jesus in the early years of our nation, and why our College is named after him.
