Anzac Day
Jess WILSON (Kew) (09:51): Kew RSL’s Anzac Day Dawn service saw a huge crowd of local community members come together to pay respects for our fallen, current and former service men and women. Congratulations to Deb and the RSL committee for organising such a fitting tribute. It was wonderful to have so many local schools and young people attend the service and lay a wreath. This included the 1st Deepdene Scout group, Balwyn High, North Balwyn Primary, Camberwell Girls Grammar, Genezzano, Greythorn Primary, Kew High, Kew Primary, MLC, Preshil, Ruyton, Sacred Heart Primary, St Anne’s Primary and Trinity Grammar.
I was also honoured to speak at Kew High’s Anzac Day commemorative service. Congratulations to Jade and Hunter, the school captains, and school leaders on leading this very special service for all the students and staff. The importance of commemorating Anzac Day is well understood by our younger generations, and I commend them on their commitment to this important cause.
