On Wednesday morning the whole school community gathered in the Peace Garden to unite in an act of Remembrance.

Staff, students and guests stood in respectful silence as we were led through readings and prayers before the ceremonial laying of wreaths and the sounding of the last post. 

Our minute of silence began with a whistle - the sound dreaded by men in the trenches which signalled the action of going 'over the top'.

Our readings this year included a reflection on the origin, importance and symbolism of the military piper, and we were honoured this year to have our ceremony closed with a bagpipe recital from Pipe Major Blackmore who generously gave his time to join us.
