We visited the Gore RSA on Wednesday the 22nd of April to learn more about the world wars and to view some war memorabilia. A big thank you to Bruce Cavanagh who shared his knowledge of war history with us. The Room 8 students listened intently, asked good questions and were respectful as they browsed around the clubrooms. We learnt many things. We had many emotions about what we heard.
The next day... the students showed their respect by completely organising their own 'Anzac Service' for Room 8. Special guests to the service were Whaea Marie, Whaea Jean and Mrs M.
Here is a photographic memory of the Room 8 'Anzac Day' memorial service...
