Commemoration day!

Commemoration day!

On Monday 11th March 2019, there was a commemoration day held to remember the sinking of the SS OTAKI. The first thing that happened was the Powhiri for the visiting people including Gurunathan, the mayor of the Kapiti Coast.

 Then came the wreath-laying. A few year 7/8 students were chosen to do so.

When the wreath laying was finished, the flags went to half mast and we remembered those who had fallen before us.

1 minute later the flag went back up, The Last Post was sang, and then we had a prayer to finish it all off.

Something I learnt was a new song.

Something I liked was listening to the history.
