Remembrance Day

The College held its annual Remembrance Day service last Wednesday at the Lone Pine site with a small group of 2021 student leaders and staff.

We observed a minute’s silence to remember the soldiers who died fighting to protect our nation. Our homerooms commemorated the event in their classrooms with prayers and reflections and wreaths were placed at the Melton and Bacchus Marsh cenotaphs by our staff.

The day of 11 November is universally associated with the remembrance of those who died in World War 1. The conflict mobilised more than 70 million people and left up to 13 million dead, one-third of these with no grave. Lest we forget.
