Peace Poles sponsored by the Rotary Club of Cambridge have now been installed in 11 Primary Schools in the greater Cambridge area. The schools involved are City Beach, Kapinara, Floreat Park, Wembley, West Leederville, Lake Monger, Mount Hawthorn, Churchlands, Woodlands, Doubleview and Wembley Downs Primary Schools.
Repeat Ceremonies have been held at 8 of the schools and first-off events have been held at three of them. All the ceremonies as always have been quite moving and extremely powerful in their message.
These poles form part of the World Peace Pole movement in which over 250 000 have been installed worldwide. The current programme in Primary Schools in Australia was begun by the Rotary Club of Canberra Burley Griffin - the goal being to install 100 in the Rotary Centenary Year. The current count is well in excess of 250.
