Remembrance Day<br />

Students from Garden International School paid respects to victims of war during a moving<br />

Remembrance Day service.<br />

At GIS there was a special whole school assembly where a minute's silence was observed<br />

and the Last Post was played on November 11. At 11.11am, students and staff stood for a<br />

minute's silence to remember the fallen.<br />

Students also read out several poems, including<br />

one by a Vietnamese poet to highlight the fact<br />

that Remembrance Day thinks about the victims<br />

of conflict from all around the globe.<br />

Several Secondary<br />

students travelled to<br />

Kanchanaburi to visit a<br />

War Cemetery and take<br />

part in a ceremony to lay<br />

wreaths. Pictured above right is a Year 10 student with British<br />

Ambassador to Thailand, Mr Mark Kent.<br />

A Year 7 student, Liang Liang, used black and red rubber bands<br />

to make a mini poppy. She then gave this to teachers to wear on<br />

their identity lanyard. Students raised 11,948 baht for the British<br />

Legion by buying poppies – an amazing achievement.
