Wear your poppy with pride

They shall grow not old, as we that 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.

This year marks the 93rd Armistice Day, where we can take time to reflect on those brave men and women who fought for our country, in previous wars and in current conflicts. Here at The ClementJames Centre our primary students paid their respects by creating poems which were enclosed in poppies they had decorated. They also had group discussions about Remembrance Day and its significance.  The staff and students respected a two minute silence at 11am.  

As Winston Churchill said
“Never was so much owed by so many to so few’’
