Remembrance ceremonies for the lives lost a decade ago on September 11 will be attended this Sunday by US Consul General Grace Shelton.
Ms Shelton will lay a wreath and hold a moment of silence at the 9/11 memorial in the Botanical Gardens.
She will read a brief statement at a 4pm memorial service hosted by the Rt Rev Patrick White at the Anglican Cathedral.
On Tuesday, US Consulate staff will pay their respects for the ten-year anniversary by planting a rose bush on the consulate grounds.
Saltus also announced yesterday that the event would be observed on Monday, when headteacher Ted Staunton will place a wreath at a memorial tree to alumnus Boyd Gatton. Also killed in the 9/11 attacks was former Saltus student Robert Higley, who will also be remembered.
The ceremony will be held at 9.30am at the school’s main campus on St John’s Road.
