From our Principal, Ms Katrina Brennan: ‘Thank you for your part in this historical year. As the Year 6 class of Shelford during COVID, you hold a special place in the history of this School. You will be remembered as a class who studied from home, who had different events and celebrations who rose above the difficulties, who made the... best of the situation and worked beautifully with your teachers, families and each other. ‘Your special friendships and deep connections with each other overrode the difficulties of home learning. ‘You have shown me this year that you have a strength which runs deep, and courage to face the future. I admire you for this and I wish you and your families all the very best as we mark this special rite of passage with you all today.’ #onecommunitycountlessopportunities

01.01.2022 ‘In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below.... . We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie, In Flanders fields. . Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.’ . In Flanders Fields by John McCrae . #lestweforget #remembranceday2020 See more
