ANZAC Assembly 

On Friday Triple LLL organised our College Street Assembly ably assisted by students from Sixes in Seven. It was a very special assembly this year because we were commemorating 100 years since the ANZAC soldiers landed on the Turkish Pennisula of Gallipoli.

Georgie Furnell and Sarah Culshaw were our presenters for this special event.They did a wonderful job.

We had representatives from the NZ Army who raised and lowered the flag. Sergeant Roberts spoke about the Fields Of Remembrance which have sprung up all over New Zealand. Many schools have received crosses with names of local soldiers who have died in wars. We had thirty crosses planted in our Garden Of Memorial.

We had lots of children sharing information about ANZAC Day as well as sharing family war stories.
