Platinum Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth IIPrint Page Print this page

The trees commemorate the Platinum Jubilee of the reign of Queen Elizabeth II and acknowledges her 70 years of service as Australia`s Head of State. 

Swansea Primary School Parents and Friends Association received funding of $20,000 from the Queen`s Platinum Jubilee Tree Planting Program which will run from 2021-2024. The project will plant trees, install a commemorative plaque and hold an event in honour of The Queen’s Jubilee. This will enhance community well-being and enjoyment of the local environment.

Elizabeth II (21 April 1926 – 8 September 2022) was Queen of the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth realms from 6 February 1952 until her death in 2022. She was queen regnant of 32 sovereign states during her lifetime, and was head of state of 15 realms at the time of her death. Her reign of 70 years and 214 days was the longest of any British monarch and the longest verified reign of any female monarch in history. 

Today we had the pleasure of welcoming Her Excellency, The Honourable Barbara Baker AC, The Governor of Tasmania, Professor Don Chalmers AO, Paula Chapwood Flight Lieutenant Aide-de-camp, Mr Robert Young - The Mayor of Glamorgan Spring Bay and Mr Greg Ingham – The General Manager of Glamorgan Spring Bay Council to our tree planting ceremony to commemorate The Platinum Jubilee of Elizabeth II which is being celebrated in the Commonwealth of Nations to mark the 70th anniversary of the accession of Queen Elizabeth II.
