Remembrance Day

Last Friday the students were invited to take part in the town’s

Remembrance Day ceremony at the Cenotaph. Laura and Tamsin did a

fantastic job delivering an address to the crowd and Bryce showed great

respect as he lay the wreath at the foot of the memorial. I hope that the

students were able to listen and learn something about the importance

of this day from this experience. Thank you to Mr Hutchins for inviting

us.
