Celebrating Luke

Luke Thatcher was a much loved student at Cecil Hills High School. This week, together with Luke’s family and friends,  we celebrated Luke’s life at his memorial service held at the Plough & Harrow Park on Elizabeth Drive on 25 August 2019.

At the memorial service, teacher, Margaret Beadle, spoke about the living memories of Luke.  All who knew him will always remember Luke as the fun loving, innocent happy person who wanted to live his life to the fullest.  It was a privilege to be part of this memorial service.

Our school bus is a legacy of the hard work of Luke’s mum - Julie and her friend Isabella - whose daughter Rosanna was Luke’s classmate. The Luke Thatcher Express  is named in honour of Luke who passed away on 23 August 2009.
