Anzac Remembrance Ceremony

This morning Glenbrae School held a small Anzac remembrance ceremony in remembrance of the Anzac soldiers who went to war and died for our country. The whole Glenbrae School gathered up in the front of school near the gates to celebrate the remembrance of the Anzac soldiers. We started it off with a song He Honore, then our guest Left Lieutenant Geoffrey said a speech about Anzac and was explaining what it meant and where it originated. After his speech the whole school read a poem by Laurence Binyon a poem he wrote for the fallen on September 1914 it read “They shall grow not old, as we are left grow old : Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning we will remember them in the morning”. Then we put crosses on the ground in remembrance of the Anzac soldiers, in orders of youngest classes to the older classes. After the ceremony room 10, 9 and 8 went to the hall to have questions and answers with Left Lieutenant Geoffrey.
