On Wednesday the college, the Prep and Year 3 of the Pre-Prep gathered in the front quad to observe a silence for the war dead, along with the rest of the country. Wreaths were laid by the three Heads at a "field altar" in the centre of the quad whilst members of the CCF lined the roads. Only the crying of the soaring seagulls broke the Silence between the Last Post and the Reveille on the bright November morning.
