A.N.Z.A.C. Day recognition

Jo Morris —

Today we held a small commemoration to remember those that have served us with a minutes silence. We have a Roll of Honour Board that is over 100 years old and bears the names of past-pupils from the Papanui District School (our original school name). It is the centre piece of our commemoration and school taonga. Some of our ākonga who are involved with Scouts, Guides, and St Johns wore their uniforms as a sign of respect and some children also proudly wore the medals of their family members. Some of our classes also talked about this special day and made poppies.
