Remembrance Day Assembly

Cowra High Remembers

Last Thursday 11 November, Cowra High held a special assembly to mark Remembrance Day.

The ceremony was lead by Tahlia Veney, with the national anthem sung by Madeleine Cooper, a speech from Jackson Oliver about his family connection with the Western Front and John McRae's poem ' In Flanders Fields' read by Banyette Bohman.  There was also a performance of The Dixie Chicks 'Travelin' Soldier' by Madeline Cooper, Rebekah Lazarou and Lucy Jones with Mr Hughes as well as a display of military precision by our student cadets led by Tegan Ashlin. 

Thanks for Viv Meiklejohn for her organisation

Taiko Drumming

As part of their investigation into Japanese arts and pastimes, some 30 students participated in an invigorating session of Tai-koh drumming.  The workshop involved discussion of proper technique, posture and attitude and the students worked together to produce a sound that was both rhythmic and cohesive. Whilst there were some students who unfortunately missed out, we are looking forward to the workshop coming back next year and to having more sessions to cater for more students.
