ANZAC Day

Today we had an ANZAC day memorial service. A kaumatua gave a speech in Maori and then he sang a waiata. Simon Wasley from the NZ Navy told us about why we remember New Zealand and Australian soldiers who were lost in wars. We all said, "We will remember them." Our school leaders called out the names of some soldiers who died and a soldier lowered the flag to half- mast. Mr Vemoa, a Salvation Army cadet, played the Last Post on his bugle and we laid some wreaths in honor of the soldiers who have died. We finished the service by singing our National Anthem and the boys did a Haka.
