Lest we Forget

On Monday, 27 April, staff and students, together with Fr Paul and parents, commemorated the centenary of the landing at Gallipoli with a special liturgy. During this service we all stopped to remember those who fought for freedom, rights and peace in our nation.

To mark this special event we unveiled a special plaque in memory of all those who valiantly paid the supreme sacrifice of giving their lives so that we may live in peace. This plaque is set amongst 28 rosemary bushes, each representing one of the classes in our school.

The inscription on the plaque includes a quote from John's Gospel (15:13):

No greater love is there than for a man to lay down his life for his friends.

On the day children each wore the name of an original ANZAC and a cross with the name of each ANZAC was placed on our hill.
