Students join rainy march

Students from Woy Woy Public School joined their teachers on Monday, April 25, at the Woy Woy Cenotaph to participate in the Anzac Day march despite the rainy weather.

"They proudly marched behind our school banner undeterred by the rain and stood serenely through the service, laying the school wreath with reverence and pride to remember the fallen," said principal Ms Ona Buckley.

She said that students Matthew Tancred, Bradley Mc Andrew, Amelia Williamson, Sophie Williamson, Zoe Williamson and Alec Williamson represented the school well.

Student leaders from Woy Woy Public School also facilitated the school's Anzac service on Thursday, April 28.

"Our Anzac service was a very special occasion with our own aunty Robyn Reid organising some representatives from the Australian Armed Heritage Re-enactment Unit to be part of our service," said Ms Buckley.

"Mr Graham Felton, Mr David Myer, Mr Ken Lyons and Mr Ron Reid created a wonderful experience and atmosphere at our Anzac service.

"Our students were very touched and have benefited from it by a better understanding of why we mark Anzac Day and remember the fallen."

The school has arranged to have the Australian Armed Heritage Re-enactment Unit return for next year's service.
