ANZAC Day Service

Today we held an ANZAC Day service at school, to remember all those who served our country in times of war. ANZAC Day, the anniversary of the Gallipoli landings, was the first day of conflict and an important part of New Zealand's history.

With a heartfelt thanks and tremendous pride, we recalled the names of the past pupils of St Kevin's College, who died serving our country, and joined in prayer to honour their souls. 

As the whole school gathered outside, the Waitaki District School's Pipe Band played and the ANZAC wreath was laid at the Grotto. The bugle bellowed as the flag was lowered to half-mast and restored to full, after which we each laid a poppy at the feet of Our Lady in the Grotto. 

We would like to give thanks to the Air Training Corps and members of Waitaki District School's Pipe Band for joining us for our service.
