Principal's Report

Remembrance Day 2019  

On Monday, students from Doncaster Secondary College led a Remembrance Day observance at the Doncaster RSL.

Doncaster Secondary College and the Doncaster RSL have an established relationship where our Year 9 SEAL students are charged with the responsibility of organising and delivering the Remembrance Day Service.

Kelly N (9E) was the Master of Ceremony for the day, Elina J (9E) led the singing of the National Anthem, Sarah M (9E) delivered a scripture reading, Zach M (9E) gave a personal account of his family’s connection to World War 1 and Jordan M (9E) recited the poem “In Flanders Fields”.

The ex-service people, visitors and special guests were most impressed with our students and very appreciative of the work they had done in preparing this event.

While this ceremony was underway at the RSL, students participated in a similar observance at the College. It was a wonderfully moving activity and one that generated very important memories and links between our veterans and our young people.

Thank you to our students for their wonderful work and a special thanks to our teachers Brock Shirley and Hermione Inskip who have helped guide students to ensure the success of these activities.
