ANZAC DAY

I recently attended the Eastbourne ANZAC day ceremony where Muritai had a heavy involvement, not only in the upgrade of the memorial wall but also in the proceedings itself. I was immensely proud of the senior school kapa haka group for the way they set the tone with a heart warming haka. It was encouraging to see the mutual respect shown between the returned servicemen and our Y7/8 young leaders during that special moment. We also had our student representative Ned Grenfell and Ellen Sullivan lay a wreath, symbolizing the special relationship Muritai School has with the RSA. Ned and Ellen also had the honor in assisting with the unveiling of the newly added names of the soldiers who did not return to Eastbourne. It was moving ceremony and one which I believe is symbolic of the community spirit of Eastbourne.
