Shrine of Remembrance Excursion

On Thursday 29 May, the Year 2 students enjoyed a day at the Shrine of Remembrance, where they were given a guided tour of the Shrine. They had a chance to try on army hats and uniforms, as well as participate in a scavenger hunt in the foregrounds of the shrine.

Here are a few comments from the students:
