nobody would have predicted. When we look back on those two
global events, amplified by the social changes in 1960s and 1970s
with the second wave of feminism, today’s opportunities for all
of your daughters bear little resemblance to those which were
the norm in 1919. Anzac Day and our Founders’ Service
are occasions when we acknowledge those who have
contributed so much to our present wellbeing. In this
edition, there are many uplifting stories about today’s
girls and their diverse achievements, all of which is
cause for celebration. Enjoy!

Lest We Forget
In the spirit of, “Lest We Forget”, Middle School Humanities
students have commemorated the soldiers from the Wellington
Mounted Rifles Regiment who died at Gallipoli from 25 April to
20 December, 1915, by creating memorial banners to hang in the Old
Hall. Each student in Year 7, 9 and 10 created a poster about a soldier,
some of whom were well documented. Sadly there were also others
who died without leaving even their date of birth.
Right: The foreword in the first
edition of Te Karere 1919.
