Not a pin could be heard at our Remembrance Day service held on Monday 11th November. As in previous years staff and students filled our atrium to stand in silence at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month.
From the roof of the atrium the service began with readings from two students before the Last Post was played to signal the start of silent reflection.
Student cadets stood to attention and saluted, others bowed their heads and we stood side by side to remember those who have fallen.
Reveille signalled the end of the two minute silence and then came the annual tradition of the "poppy drop". From the first and second floor balconies students in Years 10 and 11 released paper poppies which floated down silently and beautifully to end the service.
"We will remember them".
