Anzac Day 2010


On Friday 23rd of April, our JSC members ran a terrific Anzac Day Service. Laura, Kara and Alex spoke to the students about the significance of the day as well as impressions about the War memorial from the 5/6 Canberra Camp. The school had a special visitor, Mr John Grant who spoke about the meaning of ANZAC and his own experiences of World War 2. The whole school listened carefully to Mr Grant then played "The Last Post" and observed a minutes silence. The rouse was then played and our school flag returned to full mast. Jessica then lead the school in a proud rendition of "Advance Australia Fair". Thanks to the students and parents who provided flowers for the wreathes that selected students placed at the base of the flag pole. These wreathes were then taken to the Queen's Park war memorial for the weekend by some JSC members. Our students have a greater appreciation of Anzac Day because of the service. This creative flower photo was taken by Sean.
