Commonwealth Day and Six Affirmations

Commonwealth Day is held every year on the second Monday of March. The day is celebrated around the world and from the Head of the Commonwealth, Her Majesty the Queen, a special message is issued through Prime Ministers and Presidents to the citizens of the Commonwealth particularly school children.

AFFIRMATIONS

  • The Second Affirmation – We affirm our respect for the world and pledge that we will be its stewards by caring for every part of it.
  • The Third Affirmation – We affirm our belief in justice for everyone and peace between peoples and nations.
  • The Fourth Affirmation – We affirm faith and love as the foundation of all human relationships.
  • The Fifth Affirmation – We affirm that we each belong to our own nation and to the whole human family: to the service of both we pledge ourselves.
