At the conclusion of the Sunday Service at our Church, a wreath-laying ceremony will take place at the Greek Memorial, where the Greek and New Zealand National Anthems will be sung.
Following that, snacks and refreshments for the adults and lunch for the children will be offered at the Parthenon Hall upstairs, at around 12:00pm, before the Greek School celebrations of "Ohi Day - 28th of October 1940".
The Greek School teachers have organized a wonderful performance for our Community, with poems and songs by the children and adult students of our School.
