Last Friday’s Anzac assembly was a special occasion for all at Mortlake College. Our school captains, Bree Cummins and Jake Tanner welcomed members of the Mortlake RSL branch and President, Merv Hampson spoke about the importance of the occasion and in particular the centenary of the formation of the Returned Services’ League and the significance of its role to serviceman and women returning from war. We also really enjoyed hearing from Year 6 student, Oliver Martin, who spoke about an aspect of Anzac Day that is perhaps sometimes overlooked- the importance of New Zealand to the Anzac legacy.
On Anzac Day it was wonderful to see so many Mortlake College students proudly representing their school in the Mortlake march. Our school captains, Bree and Jake laid a wreath on behalf of the school community and Shona McGuigan spoke about three attributes so widely attributed to the Anzacs; courage, mateship and sacrifice.
Thank you to all the students who attended and also the parents who ensured that their children were able to participate in such an important occasion.
