Veteran News

Welcome to PHSC Brendan, and thank you.

On Thursday 8th of August, the two year 11 20th Century History classes were visited by Vietnam Veteran, Brendan. Brendan bought along with him countless, genuine Vietnam War memorabilia, such as photos, his pack, helmets, ammunition and fiberglass models of other weapons that were used in the Vietnam War. He helped the students understand just how harsh and intense the Vietnam War was, not just for Australians but for the Vietnamese too.

Brendan shared his own personal story with the classes, which was moving and incredibly sincere of him, whilst still creating a humorous learning environment for the students. He shared many precious moments of his with us, which we are very grateful for, as we all understand just how hard it is for Veterans of any war to speak so openly about their time and service.  

Nellie Rowan and Luci Whitelake were two students who were able to wear the pack, ammunition and helmets for some pictures.

On behalf of PHSC and the 20th classes, thank you again Brendan for sharing your story with us, as well as your service.
