“On November 11, in 1918, guns fell silent across the western front as Germany signed the Armistice Treaty which ended Word War 1. In the months that followed, the fields of Flanders were filled with poppies.

“Poppies are now worn at this time to remember the fallen of all wars. The girls bought poppies to wear for the day. All their donations will go to the SA Legion which assists with the welfare of war veterans,” said the school’s marketing manager, Marinella Sousa.
