Defence Mentor News

What’s been happening in Defence Club?

Our students have been stepping into leadership roles by selling poppies in support of the RSL’s annual Poppy Appeal. It’s wonderful to see them giving their time, showing initiative and helping our school community honour those who have served.

Wednesday, 11 November, is Remembrance Day. At 11 am, we pause for one minute’s silence to remember the men and women who have served and those who have lost their lives in wars, conflicts and peacekeeping operations. It is a time to reflect on their courage, service and sacrifice, and the lasting impact on their families.

Ava-May will read the Ode over the school’s PA system, allowing our whole school community to join together in remembrance.

Seymour College will also be proudly represented at the community service, with our Defence Captain Alana Frost will be reading the Ode and students laying a wreath on behalf of the College.

Defence student Eliza Carroll-Keays will read a poem and lay a wreath on behalf of Annabelle Cleeland MP. This is a special responsibility, and we are proud of all our students taking part in this meaningful occasion.
