A Time of Remembrance at Oban High School


On Monday 11th November, Oban High School pupils set time aside to remember those who had made sacrifices for others in times of conflict. Pupils from last June's WW1 Battlefields Trip to Belgium and France shared thoughts on their experiences from the trip. The pupils were supported by Ewen Munro and Rev. James Beaton of the school Chaplaincy Team, as well as pupil members of the Air, Sea and Army Cadets. Invited guests from the British Legion joined the high school in 2 minutes silence, followed by the laying of a wreathe on the school's memorial board. Throughout the week previous week the OHS Chaplaincy team had hosted Chaplaincy Assembly week based on the theme 'Remember', using memorable film clips from previous OHS pupils and staff alongside an appropriate consideration of why we remember.

'Well done and thank you' from all on the chaplaincy team to all pupils and staff who took part in the Time of Remembrance.
