Victoria’s Journey of Remembrance Performance
Cobram Secondary College
Victoria’s Journey of Remembrance
ANZAC has entered the national vocabulary. The people who lived though that campaign were ordinary volunteers, just as Australia’s current veterans are ordinary volunteers. Victoria’s Journey of Remembrance helps students humanise and understand the legacy of ANZAC while reflecting on Australia’s role in the world and how comprehensively our military services have changed.
On Monday 16th July, our Year 8 and Year 9 students experienced the roadshow of storytelling, live theatre performances, video and interactive content, which provided a thoughtful examination of the ANZAC story, from its birth in 1915 until today.
Students commented,
‘The performance was very informative and interesting’
‘I like to learn about things in a performance because it’s not boring’
‘Great way to learn about war’
‘The show showed the disgusting sense of what war was like. It showed how war destroyed people’s lives’
‘They are good actors and watching them and learning about war in the way they showed it was interesting’
