Remembrance Sunday

Today, we pause to honour all those who have served, sacrificed, and given their lives in the pursuit of peace and freedom.
We remember the courage of the fallen, the strength of the wounded, and the resilience of those who continue to serve today.

At the going down of the sun, and in the morning we will remember them.

💡Myth-Busting Monday!💡

❌ Myth: “Tilt your head back when you have a nosebleed.”
✅ Truth: Tilting back makes blood run into the throat. Instead, lean forward slightly and pinch the soft part of your nose for 10–15 minutes.

💬 Hands up ✋ — who was taught the wrong way at school?
