Today PNBHS senior students involved in the Barrowclough Award volunteered to support the RSA with the annual Poppy Day appeal.
The poppy reminds us of sacrifices made – both past and present. Poppies were the first flowers that grew in the battlefields of Flanders in Belgium during World War One and are a symbol of remembrance and hope.
Poppy Day has been a part of the New Zealand calendar since 1922, making it one of the oldest nationwide appeals.
Funds raised on Poppy Day are used to support the welfare of veterans and their families.
