gather evidence for their ideas and, ultimately, present a cogent argument on their chosen topic. Classics is a varied and multidisciplinary subject, drawing on art and art history, literature, philosophy and history, and helping students develop intellectual rigour, and research, analytical and critical thinking skills. “I want to make sure the boys have the confidence to access information, synthesise their ideas and form an opinion,” says Chloe. With more behind-the-scenes than there is ever room to display at any one time, the Logie Collection will prove a ready source of information and inspiration for years to come. Chloe intends to make the most of it, to mine this rich resource, inspire her students, foster their love of learning and teach them how enthralling Classics can be. “I try and teach Classics as a story. It’s compelling and fascinating and there’s so much to learn. Every day I feel like I’m telling an amazing and utterly engaging story.”
