Honouring the ANZACs
On Wednesday, we honoured both the ANZACs who fought so valiantly during World War I, and those who have fought in wars since.
Students and staff shared stories of their family members who fought in WWI, personalising their sacrifice for us. We heard about life at the Western Front, the Be’ersheva campaign, and what life was like for injured soldiers. We were reminded of the commonalities between soldiers from opposing sides, to avoid dehumanisation, and to do what we can to safeguard future generations from war.
Speakers included: Damien Green, Nathaniel and Ely Green, Leo Gelfand, Ephraim Finch, Tash Freiberg, Max Adler, Praachi Juneja, Geoff Garber, and Roger Hoskin.
We will remember, lest we forget.
