Praise for Anzac participation

Students from Pretty Beach Public School have been praised for their reverence in their participation in the School's Anzac Day service and their representation at the Hardys Bay RSL Anzac service.

Students were involved in the School's Anzac Day service on Thursday, April 28, and principal Ms Deborah Callender said the service emphasised a strong student team capacity.

"The dynamic leaders for the service were supported by their peers, with one presenting her poem relating to Anzac Day," she said.

"Each class presented a wreath, which they had assembled as a class activity.

"We were all inspired by an informative talk about the Victoria Cross delivered by Mr Darryl Ford - a war veteran.

"The students further displayed their understanding of the service by answering Mr Ford's questions with ease and dignity.

"Mr Ford also acknowledged the resourceful school captains, who represented the school on Anzac Day at Hardy Bay RSL," said Ms Callender.

"Ms Baldock guided the students through their roles and responsibilities for both services.

"It is this tireless dedication to education present in the staff at Pretty Beach Public School, which makes this school such an outstanding place of learning," she said.
