Ahead of Armistice Day this weekend, we held our Act of Remembrance this morning and took part in a two minute silence to honor those who have served and remember their sacrifice.
Unfortunately, the weather meant that we were not able to come together as a whole school community as we usually would. Thankfully, Mrs Southwell organised a virtual alternative where we were able to broadcast the act of remembrance into every classroom.
Mr Len Pullinger from Vectis Brass Band came in to play the Last Post and Reveille. Year 11 readers, Nishani and Dillon, did a fantastic job as readers for the exhortation and Kohima Epitaph, and a poppy wreath was presented by Ashleigh, Josh and Ethan.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
