Remembrance Day. Remembrance Day, also known as Poppy Day because of the symbol of the red remembrance poppy, was observed at Grey College Primary. The Grade 7 boys participated in a solemn ceremony. They honour the memory of those who gave their lives in times of war.
The ceremony included the recitation of the famous poem In Flanders Fields by Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae. It has become a timeless symbol of sacrifice and remembrance:
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.
The boys stood with dignity and respect, reflecting on the courage of those who came before them. The ceremony reminded us all of the importance of remembrance, of carrying the torch of peace and hope, as well as of never forgetting the sacrifices made so that we may live in freedom.
Grey Kollege Primêr – Herinneringsdag Seremonie
Herinneringsdag, ook bekend as Poppy Day weens die simbool van die rooi onthou-klaproos, is by Grey Kollege Primêr herdenk. Die Graad 7 seuns het aan die plegtige seremonie deelgeneem. Dit is ter ere van diegene wat hul lewens in oorlogstye gegee het.
Die seremonie het die voordrag van die bekende gedig In Flanders Fields deur Luitenant-Kolonel John McCrae ingesluit. Dit is ’n tydlose simbool van opoffering en herinnering geword het:
In Vlaanderen se velde waai die klaprose Tussen die kruise, ry op ry, Wat ons plek merk; en in die lug Die lewerke, nog dapper singend, vlieg Skaars gehoor te midde van die gewere onder.
Grey se seuns het met waardigheid en respek gestaan, en nagedink oor die moed van diegene wat voor hulle gekom het. Die seremonie het almal herinner aan die belangrikheid van onthou, om die fakkel van vrede en hoop hoog te hou, en om nooit die opofferings te vergeet wat gemaak is sodat ons in vryheid kan leef.
