Thank you to our head students Louis and Sam who represented the school at the Remembrance Sunday service held yesterday at Castletown Methodist Hall. Both students did readings during the service and a wreath was laid on behalf of the school.
We remember those who serve to protect our democratic freedoms and way of life. We remember the sacrifices of the Armed Forces and pay tribute to the special contribution of families and of the emergency services. We acknowledge innocent victims who have lost their lives in conflict and acts of terrorism. We remember, and we hope for a peaceful future.
On behalf of the staff and students of Castle Rushen High School, we will remember them.
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.
