Remembrance Day Commemoration

On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month the guns fell silent and the Great War was finally over. Today in Australia Armistice Day is called Remembrance Day. The Santa Sabina community remembered this moment at the 11th hour with one minute of silence. The Flanders poppy was the first wildflower to bloom on the Western Front and has come to symbolise hope and regrowth after the devastation of war. To remember those who have been impacted by wars and soldiers who have paid the ultimate sacrifice of their lives a commemoration of poppies on St Dominic’s plot was designed by Year 8 History students. Senior students were invited to participate in the installation of the poppy design.
