THIS YEAR WE MARKED THE CENTENARY of the end of World War 1. On Remembrance Sunday 11th November 2018, people around the Commonwealth reflected on the lives that were changed irrevocably, and those that were lost in this global conflict. At 11am on 11th November 1918 the guns fell silent. As Mr A.H. Godfrey MBE, Chairman of Woking Council commented at the time: “People of Woking! At last, at long last, after four years of toil and suffering, and of long-drawn agony, we have reached the goal of our ambition. The hour of victory has struck; the armistice has been signed…” During the week of Remembrance, the school community participated in several acts of commemoration and remembrance miraculously short time the town was gay British Legion and a river of poppies which focussed upon several key themes. with waving flags” creating a poignant backdrop for the Mr Craib led assemblies for all year remembrance event that was held in school What the newspaper doesn’t report is that groups, during which the course of the war on Friday 9th November. the 11th November was a day when fighting during 1918 was discussed; the sacrifices did continue and there were an unusually During tutorials, each group discussed made, the impact the war had across the high number of casualties.
