The Liberation 80 Legacy Project encourages children to engage in history and share their family stories from World War Two and the Occupation of Jersey.

Bradley and Jaxon are proudly displaying photographs of their Great- grandparents and the medals awarded to their Great- Grandfather, Armand Francis Joseph Blondel. Armand was a native Jersey man, who had never travelled much before he enlisted into the British Army. He left his wife and newborn baby when war was declared in 1939. Armand was in the Royal Engineers and was stationed in the Far East, where he was a dispatch rider, until he was captured and interred as a prisoner of war. Armand was deported back to Europe and interned in a camp, where he learned German and Italian from other soldiers. Armand eventually escaped by hiding underneath a lorry that was supplying food to the camp. He used his newly acquired language skills to pass through Europe undetected by the occupying forces; he stayed in people’s houses and blended in to the local community. After D-Day, he found a British troop of soldiers who eventually helped him return back to the UK, where he was debriefed and demobbed. He was able to return to Jersey after 5 years (1939-1945) to be reunited with his wife and child, who was by that time six years old.

This is a truly amazing story of great daring and bravery.

Head's Reflection

On Tuesday evening, St Helier Town Hall hosted the Jersey Awards Ceremony for the Queen's Commonwealth Essay Competition. This event is one of highlights of the academic year for the St Michael's English Department, which supports children in Year 5 and above in tackling one of four thought-provoking and topical questions.

Developing children's communication skills is essential in preparing them for the next stages of their education and beyond. Encouraging them to organise their thoughts and imagination around a topic they are passionate about—and then express these ideas in a logical and coherent manner while considering their audience—is no small feat. Not to mention the importance of crafting imagery, using personification, developing characters, establishing settings, and, of course, maintaining authenticity.

It was wonderful to see children from across Jersey attending Tuesday night’s awards and to witness so many embracing the challenge of essay writing! Congratulations to the 58 St Michael’s students who received awards—a record-breaking achievement! A special thank you to Dr. Lee Durrell for presenting the awards and for kindly taking the time to pose for photographs, making the evening even more special.

The Liberation 80 Legacy Project encourages children to engage in history and share their family stories from World War Two and the Occupation of Jersey.

Alice's Great-Grandfather, Lieutenant Roy Baillache, served in the Royal Navy during World War Two and was honoured for his bravery. Alice is photographed wearing his helmet, gas mask and military medals. Alice proudly shared her Great-Grandfather's story and explained the items that have been beautifully preserved by her family, which included the telegrams that were exchanged between Roy and his family whilst he was on active service. Alice also has an original Red Cross parcel, which was issued to her maternal Great-Grandparents, Doris and LP Stevens, and Reichsmarks that the Nazis issued during the Occupation to replace Jersey money.

The past two weeks have been an exciting and action-packed time for House competitions in the Games department!

The Year 7/8 and Shell girls delivered a thrilling house hockey competition, with matches showcasing impressive teamwork and determination. The final standings were incredibly close, with three teams tied on points — the overall champions, Matthew House, claimed victory on goal difference. Congratulations to all teams for their fantastic performances!

Last week’s Junior house netball competition enjoyed perfect conditions, with the sun shining on a fun-filled afternoon. The girls brought enthusiasm and energy to every match, displaying their skills in competitive games. Luke House dominated the event, winning all their matches to secure the top spot — an outstanding achievement!

Finally, the Year 5/6 girls eagerly kicked off their house hockey competition, bringing strong line-ups and plenty of team spirit. Their hard work and support for one another, both on and off the pitch, made for a series of closely contested matches. In another nail-biting finish, John House emerged victorious on goal difference. Well done to all the girls for their effort, perseverance, and sportsmanship!
