RSL Remembrance Day Incursion

On Tuesday 27 October 2026, Plenty River College had the privilege of welcoming Darren Thomas, an Australian Defence Force veteran and guest speaker from Greensborough RSL, for a special incursion in recognition of Remembrance Day.

During the session, Darren shared his personal experiences of military service, providing students and staff with valuable insight into the realities of serving in the Australian Defence Force. He spoke openly about the challenges he faced upon returning from war, particularly the difficulties of transitioning back into civilian life.

Darren also conducted a moving Remembrance Day service, highlighting the significance of commemorating those who have served and made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation. His reflections reinforced the importance of remembrance, respect and gratitude for the freedoms we enjoy today.

The incursion was a heartfelt and meaningful experience, with students demonstrating genuine interest, engagement and respect throughout. Plenty River College sincerely thanks Darren and Greensborough RSL for providing our school community with such a valuable opportunity for learning and reflection.
