Remembrance Day Ceremony

Remembrance Day (11 November) marks the anniversary of the armistice which ended the First World War. During this war, more than sixty thousand Australians died. The majority on the Western Front in France, Belgium and in Gallipoli. Each year Australians observe one minute silence at 11.00am on 11 November, in memory of those who died or suffered in all wars and armed conflicts.

Metella Road Public School will conduct a Remembrance Day Ceremony on the 9 November at 11.30am. Kindergarten - Year 2 will be held under the K-2 COLA, and Years 3 to 6 will be held under the 3-6 COLA. Our student leaders will be running the ceremony. All members of our school community are welcome to join us to honour the brave men and women who have fought, and continue to fight for Australia. We would like to thank Sue Gill, Breanna's Nanna for her kind donation of a wreath.
