Dawn Ceremony

| ANZAC spirit alive in Room XV |
"Shhh... can you hear that?" That is
the silence of a dawn ceremony.
In the morning at nine o’clock at
Sylvia Park School we started our dawn ceremony because of what our men
did in World War One. When the sun rose up that means we have to stay silent
for 5 or 10 minutes just to remember them and to say ‘thank you’ for what they
have done for our country. They had stood out to make us proud just like Henry
Nicholas when he got the Victoria Cross for be bravery.
Then we had some speeches from
our very own students and they talked about how it was like and how it felt
like when you go to war. They also talked about how our men were when they were
far from their mothers, families and their sons when they had to see their
loved ones come and go. But mostly it was sad because their mother didn’t get
to see them again then we put our wreath down. Some said, ‘Lest we forget,’ and
then we sung our national anthem we were proud of ourselves.

We got some flowers for the dawn parade. Then we sang a song with Whaea
Bron. I cried a little bit but it was interesting.
