Last Wednesday our captains, Justin Hedayati and Mackenzie Lawrence, had the honour of reciting ‘Flanders Field’ at the annual Bomaderry RSL commemorative service. They performed this poem beautifully before an appreciative audience of local dignitaries. Later in the day at our whole school assembly students were addressed by Marc Pavillard, the Commanding Officer of 816 squadron from HMAS Albatross. He spoke about the importance of Remembrance Day, before presenting ‘Military Kids Recognition Medals’ to two of our students, Erin Hetherington and Clara Hetherington. These awards were for perseverance on the home front during their father's deployment with the Australian Defence Force as part of Operation Manitou, Middle East Region 2015. His contribution was very much appreciated by students, teachers and parents in attendance.
