Public Services Students Parade to Remember

On Wednesday 11 November at 11am, Public Services students held a special Remembrance Parade in the atrium of Wisemore Campus, to commemorate the anniversary of Armistice Day and the end of the 1st World War.

Staff and students across the College gathered in the atrium and lined the balconies to observe a two minute silence, paying tribute to all those who have given their lives in all wars, both past and present, and to reflect on their sacrifice.

Helen Brookes, Curriculum Manager for Public Services, commented, “Armistice Day is an opportunity for everybody to take a few minutes out of their daily life to remember those who have lost their lives at war. It is vital that this is continued year after year to honour the memory of our war heroes and ensure their bravery is never forgotten.

“The team were very proud of the students and the way they paraded. For many of them this was the first time that they have formally demonstrated their respect and appreciation for Services Personnel who have lost their lives.

“It is an important part of the ethos of all of the Public Services courses that the students recognise the commitment that they are undertaking with this type of career and there is no better way to highlight this than through a Remembrance Parade”.
