LEST WE FORGET

Today, our staff and students came together in the Atrium to honour and remember those who served.

Through moving poetry, music and a two-minute silence, we took time to reflect, remember and give thanks for the sacrifices made.

We will remember them. ❀️

WE WILL REMEMBER THEM

Today on Armistice Day we join the nation to pause for a two-minute silence to pay our respects to our Armed Forces community, past and present.

At the eleventh hour on the eleventh day of the eleventh month - we will remember them.

"When you go home, tell them of us and say,
For your tomorrow, we gave our today."
