Elderslie Public School ANZAC Memorial SpacePrint Page

The memorial space commemorates those who have served in conflicts in which Australia has been involved.

Camden RSL and Elderslie Public School will mark the Centenary of Armistice with the help of $27,000 in Federal grants to upgrade the memorial rose garden and to build a school memorial area.

Federal Member for Hume Angus Taylor said this Sunday 11 November was an opportunity to stop and honour the fallen and remember those who have served and are serving.

“One hundred years ago on 11 November 1918, the guns of the Western front fell silent after four years of continuous warfare,” Mr Taylor said. “In those four years of war, more than 330,000 Australians served overseas and more than 60,000 of them died. “The war came at a devastating cost to our country, not the least because of our small population.”

Elderslie Public School was successful in securing an armistice centenary grant for $13,676 which will be used to build an outdoor memorial area at the school. The area will comprise a tiered-seating learning space, sculptures of soldiers and a plaque remembering the fallen.

The students held a very moving ANZAC Day ceremony yesterday. This was a special service which was partnered with the official opening of our new ANZAC memorial space. It was wonderful to see so many parents, grandparents and other community members attend this commemoration to those who have fought for our freedom. Members of our school leadership team attended the Dawn Service and Camden march and laid a wreath on behalf of Elderslie Public School. Thank you to all the students that attended the March last Thursday and represented our school.
