Remembrance Day Service
On Wednesday 11th November students form Years 3,4,5 & 6 from
Murwillumbah Primary went to the Cenotaph to participate in the service to
honour those who have fought for our country in war. Our school leaders, Riley
Yates, Summer Masters and Samantha Morrin
were chosen by Mr Derek Sims to lead the service . They were assisted by
Druen Pidgeon. One of our Year One students, Jordan Simkins made a very touching
speech to the community on behalf of this generation about the significance for
young people of Remembrance Day. As part of the service our school, along with
other community members sang two hymns-The Recessional and Abide with Me. The
songs were accompanied by the Murwillumbah High School Band. Our
Mr Derek Sims made special mention of how he was
impressed with our ‘dignity and decorum’ in leading the
service.
