ANZAC+Day+2015


 * ANZAC Day 2015 **

Local schools have been invited to participate in the Kaiapoi ANZAC commemorations on **Saturday 25th April.** Children will meet by the tennis courts in Sewell St at 9.30 a.m. and march to the cenotaph. A combined school choir (including the Kaiapoi schools, Woodend, Pegasus Bay, Tuahiwi and ourselves) will sing Sons of Gallipoli during the service. If your child can commit to learning the song over the holidays and being part of the ANZAC service on Saturday 25th April, the words and music are attached. Thank you, Mark Ashmore-Smith Principal media type="file" key="Auckland Boys' Choir -- Sons of Gallipoli.mp3"
 * 2015 ANZAC Commemorations **
 * Sons of Gallipoli **

We sang —God of Nations at thy feet— As we stood on that sacred shore With a heartfelt pride Somewhere deep inside For the sons of Gallipoli

We sang —E Ihowa Atua— From the place they call Anzac Cove We gazed out to sea Where our home would be For the sons of Gallipoli

How still you lie And how still you die on other hillsides. We sang —hear our voices we entreat— As the wind blew from off the sea With a tearful sigh and the question why For the sons of Gallipoli

We sang —God defend our free land— And for all whose lives are torn With one voice implore No more talk of war For the sons of Gallipoli

We sang —God of Nations at thy feet— As we stood on that sacred shore With a heartfelt pride Somewhere deep inside For the sons of Gallipoli
