The year 2019 marks the 80th anniversary of the outbreak of the Second World War.
Our annual act of remembrance in Ballyclare High School is a means of commemorating those who unselfishly gave their futures to secure a greater freedom for us all by fighting in conflicts at home and abroad. On Friday morning we held a remembrance assembly to honour the dead for the sacrifice of their lives, and the names of past pupils who lost their lives were read out and honoured.
Our memorial poppy garden was established in the Millennium Garden five years ago on the centenary of the outbreak of the First World War. Seeds are sown there every year to act as a living memorial for those who gave their lives.
Representatives from school, including the Head Boy and Head Girl, all participated in the community remembrance service on Remembrance Sunday at the Cenotaph in Ballyclare.
