Anzac Day

We are lucky in Mudgee to have a strong culture in our schools of supporting Anzac Day. So even though it's school holidays, it was great to see my boys marching in school uniform at the parade today.

And Mr 11 helped carry the banner and lay the wreath.

It was a good opportunity for us all to stop and consider the sacrifices that were, and are being made, so we can enjoy peace and prosperity.

  7. It is very heart warming when the boys are interested in being a part of such an important day. The service in our town was very moving and it was great to see so many children from the various schools take part and march, son number 3 included.

  10. So good to know your boys are standing proud for Anzac Day. No matter where in the world, our children can learn early on the significance of these memorial days. I think in many US schools they have moved away from our own observations for whatever reasons and it is very sad. No one should forget or minimize what these wars have taken from us.

  13. I had an interesting chat with a school Mum who grew up in Europe, so had stories of wartime life that make you really appreciate how we are the lucky country.We must never forget the lives lost, past and present of our armed forces serving around the world.
