Marking Remembrance

Churcher's College marked Remembrance with a series of events...

On Sunday 9 November Churcher’s College CCF and Senior Wind Band were honoured to take part in the Petersfield town centre Remembrance Parade and Service, held in the Square outside St Peter’s Church, followed by a march to the town’s war memorial where wreaths were laid. The service was attended by many Petersfield residents wishing to pay their respects.

On Tuesday 11 November Churcher’s College commemorated Armistice Day with a special morning assembly followed by a procession through the school’s war memorial whilst the Combined Cadet Force (CCF) of Army, Navy and RAF cadets stood in formation, accompanied by music from the Senior Wind Band. The banner party and wreath bearers led the procession to the school’s war memorial, built to honour Old Churcherians who fought in the First and Second World Wars. Poppy wreaths were laid and saluted after which all senior school pupils, staff and CCF cadets followed behind the wreath bearers to walk the route through the memorial to remember those lost. 

On the evening of Wednesday 12 November, the School held its Remembrance Concert at St Peter’s Church, Petersfield with the various choirs and ensembles performing admirably to a packed audience.
