Princethorpe Falls Silent In Remembrance

Foundation Principal, Ed Hester, opened the Remembrance Service with a prayer then Year 7 pupils, Grace, Isabelle and Arthur, read Why Do We Wear A Poppy. At 11.00am, College trumpeters, Theo and Will, and Brass Teacher, Mr Allison, sounded The Last Post and the College observed a two-minute silence. Sixth Form students, James, Jorja, Joshua, Lola, Bella, Liv, Sam, Ajunee, Martha, Chloe, Jonjo and Amber then read the poem For The Fallen.

A wreath was hung at the Pupils’ Entrance by Headmaster, Grove du Toit, and Heads of School, Will and Francesca. Mr du Toit led further prayers and called forward pupils from across the school to lay their Form’s wreaths. Before the service, pupils had each written their remembrances on paper poppies and these had been assembled into Tutor Group wreaths. 

The Remembrance Service finished with College community singing the traditional hymn Abide With Me. Musical accompaniment was provided by Director of Music, Mr Cowlishaw, Music Teacher, Mrs Wakeley and College musicians, Henry, Jasper, Naomi and Alex.
