Why we raise and lower the national flag at school each day
The ritual of raising and lowering a national flag each day holds profound symbolic significance, reflecting the core values, unity, and sovereignty of a nation.
In essence, the practice of raising and lowering the national flag each day embodies the spirit of patriotism, unity, and continuity. It fosters a sense of belonging and pride among citizens while honouring the legacy of the past and embracing the promise of the future.
Our school flag monitors are officially trained by WO2 - Sergeant Major Roy Kennedy of the N.Z. Armed Defence Force. We thank Officer Roy Kennedy for his time to do this, for his service to the N.Z. Armed Forces and for protecting our country. Our Flag monitors are Devon Gray-Thompson, Isaiah Sepuloni, Huzaifa Raja, Willoughby Wheldale, Etta Bamborough and Lukas Campbell all from Room 17 and we would like to thank them for the service they give to the school.
