PNBHS Anzac Service April 2021

    by PNBHS

First week back in Term two saw the traditional Anzac service take place, from our Old Boys Executive we saw Michael Lawrence in his capacity as Board Chairman and Stuart Leighton read the honors’ lists for World War One and Two. Many Old Boys attended the ceremony which was again a grand occasion. Of note was our Old Boys’ wreath laying partners Jim Kelly (96) and Alan Cull (97), Jim Kelly had driven himself down from Auckland for the occasion, both were very spritely and in great form, after the morning tea we took these two outside for some delightful photos with our senior leaders.

It was sad to receive news last Thursday, July 8th that Jim Kelly had passed away. Our condolences are passed on to his family.
