Remembrance Day
In the days leading up to Remembrance Day, all students
spent time with their tutor group, where they wrote
prayers for fallen soldiers on paper feathers and decorated
them with beautiful poppy designs. The Chaplaincy team
carefully pulled all of these feathers together, to create a
number of ‘peace doves’ that we put up in the chapel, to
commemorate soldiers, past and present. These doves
were also our way of praying for a more peaceful future.
On the 11th of November, the entire school watched a
virtual assembly about the importance of Remembrance
Day, and the selfless sacrifices that were made during WWI
and WW2.
The assembly also included a powerful recording of
Michael Elliot, a Year 8 student, playing the Last Post. This
then led into a two minute silence that fell across the
school at 11am, to honour and remember those who
fought for us.
