Thank you for sharing your reflections Y9. I can see that the Remembrance Day Service was very thought provoking and emotional for you all.  Thank you for representing us so well at the service.

Year 7 and 8 are having a great time and can't wait to share their stories with you.

Such mature and thoughtful reflections on your time at the ceremony. Although this is an emotional event for you all to attend, it is such a powerful way to connect your history lessons to realities.
I expect you are now going to do something fun and head off for another very, very delicious dinner. Enjoy!

Despite the fact that most of our group had never attended a Remembrance Day Service they displayed a commendable level of respect . They were a credit to the school and their families and it clearly had a deep impact on their thinking. Many commented on the emotion and power of the service. Please ask them about this experience on their return they have much to say! Tonight we are heading off to cook our own BBQ meal.

As the bus stopped, we stepped off in deep emotion. This cemetery is where lot's of people are commemorated. From the 2nd day we arrived in Kanchanaburi, we went to many places like museums to learn about WW1 and WW2.
As soon as we arrived at the cemetery, I was shocked to see the numbers of graves and the ages of people who died. I felt so sorry for these people as they died so young.
I felt tearful watching people laying wreaths and listening to the music. It was hard to control my emotions and it was scary imagining how people died. At last, I felt lucky I was not born in WW2 and felt really sorry for those people who did.

We were told we were going to the war cemetery today. That's why I had to bring a smart outfit. This morning, we got in our buses and headed to the cemetery. There were countless headstones of the dead soldiers when we entered. We began to walk around studying all the messages on the headstones. There were names of soldiers, the date they died and little messages from their families. I realised that there were many young people who were barely in their 20s and 30s when they sadly died. It was heartbreaking to know how many young men sacrificed themselves for their nations.
When the ceremony started, many foreign soldiers played instruments while marching. Although it was hard to hear the music, it was meaningful. When people took turns to lay wreaths, it was very hard to watch. Lots of old men carried their old bodies to place the flowers. I learnt that it is important to always remember and be grateful to those people for their efforts and sacrifices.

Today was a very emotional day for me. Lots of different things struck me  such as: the amount the soldiers and officials; the evocative messages on the headstones. The priest's speech was very touching. The minute of silence gave me goosebumps and it felt like the whole world went silent. The memorial made me feel that the soldiers dead and alive are like real life superheroes because they sacrifice their lives for their countries.

This morning at the memorial, I felt really sad and touched by the messages that were left by family members and comrades. I saw one headstone that had a note left by his mother that really reminded me that many people's families have to live with this everyday and how important it is that we don't forget about what happened.
I was happy that I got to lay the wreath and be there to commemorate the day. I was able to make the connection to me being Japanese and Australian; coming from two different sides in this war. I was shocked to see how many headstones there because it really brought me back to reality and made me realise how many people lost their lives and suffered.

Throughout the whole experience, I thought about the amount of suffering that had gone on and the loss of lives. I couldn't help imagine myself in these conditions. During the ceremony, my legs were burning and aching so much but I simply could not rest without listening to the words that were being said and I thought the wreath laying was beautiful. Furthermore, the amount of graves were appalling, I tried to imagine all these people stood at their gravestones and really couldn't fathom the fact that there were graves in other places and skeletons still unfound.
Reading the messages on the plaques moved me and the bagpipes made everything more special.
I am so glad that they can all now rest peacefully after working in such arduous conditions.

Today marks the end of WW1 and while we have been focusing on WW2 history throughout the week, the service that we will attend this morning will be a great opportunity to reflect on the lives lost in all conflicts in the line of duty. It will give the learners a time to pause, reflect and understand the consequences and sacrifices made during war. This will be a special and unique opportunity for them and will put their learning into context.

Last night, we asked the Year 9s to reflect on the problems the POWs experienced while building the railway. We were really impressed with the mature and thoughtful responses.
We then asked the learners to reflect about their lives beyond iCAN and what challenges they could foresee and how they plan to overcome these. One student shared that iCAN had taught him how to feel and others shared that iCAN was like their home and will find it difficult to be in a different environment. Even though this was an emotional discussion, we were impressed with the support that the learners offered each other.

Today we went to Hellfire Museum and trekked a few kilometers of the path made by the POWs and Asian migrant workers. We shared an audio head set as we explored the area and learnt about the history of the site. We were suprised to find out how fast the railway was built and the horrendous conditions they had to endure. I was suprised many survived! After that we went back on to the minivans and had a very good lunch. We then walked up to a breathtaking waterfall. We then checked into our new
