Dear Monument Australia visitors, we are a self-funded, non-profit organisation, dedicated to recording monuments throughout Australia. Over time the costs of maintaining this website have risen substantially (in fact they are probably larger than those of many companies who exist for profit). In the past we have borne all the costs associated with maintaining the website but we are now having difficulties in paying the monthly expenses.
If Monument Australia is useful to you, please make a donation to keep this historical and educational resource available. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Goodwood Public School Roll of HonourPrint Page 
The wooden honour roll commemorates former students and teachers of the school who served in World War One.
On Tuesday evening at the Goodwood Institute, in the presence of a large number of residents, the Goodwood Public School roll of honour was unveiled by the Minister of Education (Hon. W. H. Harvey). The Minister said there were on the roll names of 300 soldiers all of whom, except three, had passed through the charge of the chief assistant of the school (Mr. W.Fisher), who had spent 30 years at Goodwood.
Thirteen of the men had gained distinction, including one V.C., and 55 had made the supreme sacrifice. Ten teachers had gone from Goodwood and nearly 200 from the Education Department. The roll, which was designed by Mr. Guy and executed by Messrs Pengelley & Co., will be hung in the school.
The Register (Adelaide), 7th November 1918.
