Bruce Kingsbury Memorial Service – Yr7’s

Reservoir High School, Kingsbury Primary School and the 2/14th Infantry Battalion Association recently conducted our annual Bruce Kingsbury memorial service on Friday 26th August.  Many Grade five and six students from Kingsbury Primary School and all of our Year 7 students paid honour to the gallant heroics of Bruce Kingsbury and the 2/14th Battalion during World War 2.  We were visited by many honoured guests for this service. 

 

The audience heard poems and stories read out by current Year 7 students and a wonderful insight by Kingsbury Primary school captains who shared their Anzac Day experiences with the 2/14 Battalion in the Anzac Day march earlier this year.

 

Thankyou to Ms Duhandzija, Ms Barker, Mr Barker and Mr Bayley for their great assistance with organising the service, and to Ms Neophytou, Ms Michael, Ms Barker and Mr Lyras who assisted their Year 7 classes prepare the wonderful work and presentations on Bruce Kingsbury and the 2/14th Battalion.

There have been many Junior students participate in Interschool Sport teams this term in Basketball, Athletics and Table tennis. Congratulations to all students for participating in these teams.  Thank you also to all staff who have been coaching and supporting these teams through training and coaching on game day.
