๐บ Lest We Forget ๐บ
Today, the Perth Modern School community came together to commemorate Remembrance Day and honour the service and sacrifice of those who have served our nation.
Principal Mitchell Mackay reflected on the stories of several young Modernians who lost their lives during World War I, reminding us of the promise and potential cut short by war and the importance of remembering their sacrifice.
The ceremony was led by MC Mia S., with wreath laying performed by Emmelyn F., Hinata P. and Minuli E. Students and staff were treated to a moving performance of Mozart's Violin Concerto in G Major (Movement 2) by Jimmy L., while Imogen M. performed the Last Post. Our Army Cadets respectfully lowered the flags as part of the ceremony.
As we gathered wearing poppies and observed a minute's silence, we reflected on the courage, service and sacrifice of generations past.
