Remembrance Sunday

On Sunday 9th November, Duke’s Secondary School’s Combined Cadet Force proudly took part in the Ashington Remembrance Parade, standing shoulder to shoulder with local community members to honour those who have served and sacrificed.

Our cadets showed true courage and composure as they marched through the town, representing Duke’s with pride and respect. A particularly special moment came when CDT CPL Isla Blake laid a wreath on behalf of Duke’s Secondary School – a touching tribute to those who gave their lives in service.

Colour Sergeant John Langan acted as Parade Commander, leading the contingent with discipline and professionalism, while Second Lieutenant Kirsten Osman provided vital support in coordinating the march. A huge thanks to John and Kirsten!

This year’s parade was the first attended by Duke’s CCF as a full contingent under the new leadership of Mrs Georgia Goodfellow, marking the start of an important tradition that will see our cadets continue to take part in future Remembrance events.

We are incredibly proud of all our cadets for their commitment, bravery, and sense of duty. Their efforts embody the light values we strive towards every day at Duke’s. Well done to each and everyone involved, we couldn’t be prouder of you!

Lest we forget.
