ANZAC Commemorations 2021

With ANZAC Day falling during the school holidays this year, our commemorations took place today with the College community gathering in the Chapel for a special liturgy. The names of Old Boys lost in the world wars were read from the Roll of Honour, and prayers were offered for the souls of all those departed.

 
A procession was made to the Grotto and Magee Memorial Lawn at which the flag was lowered, the Last Post was played and we were joined by the Combined High Schools Honour Guard. A wreath was laid at the Grotto by Head Students. Students then placed poppies in front of the Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes to conclude the ceremony.

Thank you to the Combined High Schools Honour Guard, and members of the Waitaki District Schools Pipe Band for being part of our commemorations.

Thank you to Tahlia Sherwin for capturing the photos on the day.
