Anzac Day

Belinda WILSON (Narre Warren North) (10:05): In my electorate of Narre Warren North we had some incredible Anzac Day services, which I was really, really proud to be part of. The morning started at Bunjil Place, where there were well over a couple of thousand people, and the Lysterfield Lake College boys choir did an amazing performance. It was all organised by the Berwick RSL, and we enjoyed a very lovely breakfast, all thanks to the Narre Warren Rotary Club. It was really great to have everyone there from the community, including the CFA, the SES and of course our amazing police force.

I then headed off to the Narre Warren community service, which was an incredible service. We had the Harkaway Hills College girls choir sing there, and the event was hosted by two kids from Harkaway Hills College, Naushali and Deanna, and then by Charlie and Zane from Narre Warren North Primary. They all did such an incredible job reading and guiding the service. The Narre Warren North Girl Guides kindly offered us our morning tea, which was really, really lovely and thoroughly enjoyed. Thanks to Stephen and the guard party from the Australian Air Force, Victoria Police and of course the Narre Warren South CFA.

Then last week I headed to Oatlands Primary, where they did their very own service. It was an honour to meet Les, who has attended 28 of these services, and a big thanks to the amazing kids who hosted the morning and did such an incredible job.
