S.S Otaki Commemoration Service

S.S Otaki Commemoration Service

On Monday the 9th of march 2020, Otaki college had a Commemoration Service. It was about russian Arctic Convoy and other things . A lot of people attended this service that was located at Otaki College hall because of the weather.

 Like the german Ambassador,  president of the Russian Arctic club, 98 year old that was a survivor on a ship, and 5 other important and remarkable people. Throughout the service there was songs including the national anthem, Ma waira and our college song. 

There also was those important and remarkable people I mentioned before had their time to speak. They Really described how war felt on the ocean. After everyone of those seven old men finished their speech. They had to lay the reefs. Once that was done,One guy had the bagpiper and leaded the official party out. And the Commemoration service was done.
