Dear Families,
ANZAC Day
Last Saturday, Lottie Childs (6M) and Albie Tyler (6Z) proudly represented our school at the ANZAC Day ceremony at the Bendigo Memorial. The girls were fortunate to meet Bendigo’s oldest veteran, John Todd, who is 101 years young. We sincerely thank Lottie and Albie for representing our school so respectfully and beautifully on this important occasion.
