The Royal Commonwealth Society (RCS), an education organization seeking to promote international understandings, especially among commonwealth countries, on Thursday, announced the selection of two Nigerian high schools as ‘super schools’ to partake in the organization’s 2012 Jubilee Time Capsule project.
The two deserving schools are Vivian Fowler Memorial College, Lagos and Showers International Christian High School, Port Harcourt.
According to a press release made available to Nigerians Abroad Live, 150 ‘Super Schools’, which include the two Nigerian schools are being recruited to create one of the world’s biggest collaborative history projects in honour of The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee due in 2012.
Her Royal Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II whose eldest grandson Prince William — Duke of Cambridge — got married back in April became the head of the commonwealth nations on 2nd of June 1953 by her coronation as the constitutional monarch of England (including dozens of other countries, notably Canada, Australia and New Zealand).
Participating schools and their students are expected to show off their creative talents by contributing “stories and memories” through photos, films, stories, music, interviews and drawings about a day in the last 60 years that is meaningful to them or their country.
Such “Stories and memories from all over the world will be added to the Capsule covering every day from the last sixty years. Together they will form a unique peoples’ history of the Commonwealth to be presented as a gift to Her Majesty in 2012,” the RCS stated
