SIEV Memorial in Canberra

I ’m writing to let you know that the pole (Number 26) donated by your community still stands proudly as a testament of the compassion of your members and as a reminder to us all of the lives lost in the tragedy.

Perhaps you might like to mention it in your newsletter if you have one and assure any members of your school community who may visit Yarralumla that they would be very welcome to visit the memorial at any time. It’s located in a lovely park area and would be a pleasant place to picnic or just walk around and contemplate.

You can follow us on our Fb page - https://www.facebook.com/SIEVXMemorial .

There’s more information on our website which is currently being updated and renovated, so will change over time - https://www.sievxmemorial.com/
