St Edmund Arrowsmith Remembers

Pupils and staff at St Edmund Arrowsmith Catholic High School came together to mark Remembrance Day, taking time to reflect, remember and pay tribute to all those who have served and sacrificed their lives in conflicts around the world.
 
The school observed a two-minute silence, providing an opportunity for our school community to pause and remember those who gave their lives in the service of others.
 
As part of our remembrance activities, every form group created a poppy wreath, with each wreath representing a shared commitment to remembering the fallen and recognising the importance of peace.
 
Adding to the significance of the occasion, pupils and staff proudly wore a variety of uniforms representing the different services and other organisations.  This was a wonderful way of recognising the bravery, dedication and service of those in our Armed Forces.
 
We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Deacon Jim for leading the readings and prayers, helping to make the occasion particularly meaningful and reflective for everyone involved.
 
As we gathered in remembrance, we reflected on the moving words:
“They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.”
 
At St Edmund Arrowsmith, we are proud to ensure that the importance of remembrance continues to be shared with future generations.
We will remember them.
