25.01.2022 Lest we Forget. Today, at The Hospital School at Westmead, we commemorate the fallen and focus on remembrance and peace. Our students will be observing a minute of silence, creating poppies and defining what peace means to them. We will be creating a 'Peace Garden' display where poppies will be coming out of the grass and doves of peace will be flying above. ... Having our students reflect on the sacrifice of our fallen heroes is the goal for today. #RemembranceDay #LestWeForget #WeHonourThem #HospitalSchool #LoveWhereYouLearn
