We Remember

On Monday, staff and students paused for a minute's silence as a mark of respect. I was particularly impressed with the level of respect displayed by our senior students - well done Year 5 and Year 6.

The Ross River Road fence line is a great reminder of Remembrance Day. Thank you to Haylie Stanhope and Zita Whiteside, our Defence Force Transition Aide for organising the display.
