Lord, strengthen our hearts, hands, and minds, to work together for peace;

and to see you each day in all those we meet.

Help us to be messengers of peace in our families, our school and our world.

One hundred and two years ago, on 11 November 1918, the guns of the Western Front fell silent after four years of continuous warfare. With their armies retreating and close to collapse, German leaders signed an Armistice, bringing to an end the First World War.

Each year on this day Australians observe one minute’s silence at 11am, in memory of those who died or suffered in all wars and armed conflicts. During this time our flags are lowered to half mast, as a sign of respect for all those who have given their lives for their country.

Today, as a School Community Year 6 led us in a Remembrance Day Prayer and a minutes silence to remember this significant event.
