Kirkcudbright Academy Remembers

Wednesday 11th November, at 11.00, Kirkcudbright Academy fell silent in remembrance of those that fell in conflict.

A representative group of Army, Air and Sea Cadets, along with Academy Leadership Team joined the Senior Management Team to lay wreaths on the memorial in the Old School Hall, and at the remembrance stone in the school grounds. While this was taking place classrooms observed the 2 minute silence.

Prior to the laying of the wreaths, S6 students held a whole school assembly, on Monday, to remind the school why we remember those who fell in conflict. This was respectfully observed by All pupils in the school.

It was also a time to remember our most recent former pupil to loose his life in conflict, Arkadi Petrov, who was recently killed during the conflict between Ukraine and Russia.
