A wish for enduring peace
Lawrence Hanna's family, with Anne Stanley, the Federal Member for Werriwa and Tanya Davies, the State Member for Mulgoa
Remembering Lawrence Hanna
Our school community gathered on Friday 9 November to mark 100 years since the armistice with the family of Lawrence Hanna to dedicate our thoughts to this brave ANZAC from Liverpool. Crystial Sullivan from Year 8 acknowledged the traditional owners of the land. School Captains, Alan Dan and Natalie Narvaiza described the importance of armistice and life of Lawrence (Lal) Hanna.
Lest we forget
They were joined by Vice Captains, Joella Khouchaba and Kosta Tsoukalas, who read the poem -
Lal Walked Proudly by Jo Marlin (Lal’s granddaughter). Anne Stanley, Federal Member for Werriwa, and Tanya Davies, State Member for Mulgoa, planted the tree of remembrance. We solemnly reflected on the Ode of Remembrance and observed one minute silence. A beautiful acoustic rendition of the National Anthem was performed by Year 11 student, Lunar Daftar and music teacher, Mr Darren Abbott. Finally, all the guests and students enjoyed a delicious morning tea provided by Ms Bryon and the hospitality students.
