History Club - Victory in the Pacific Day
On Sunday, 14 August, eight History Club ‘nurses’ represented the College at the Victory in the Pacific Day march and service at Cabra Vale Diggers Club. The History Club ‘nurses’ were invited by the VP Day organising committee having been impressed with their participation at the last VP Day in 2019.
The girls involved were Chantelle G, Mia W, Amelia C, Bronwyn Z, Laura Z, Isabelle S, Keeley M and Chloe K. The girls did our College proud and were given the honour of forming the guard during the wreath laying ceremony. There was a segment on Channel 9 news on VP Day which featured some great shots of the girls. The students also met the new federal member for Fowler, Dai Lee, Mayor of Fairfield, Frank Carbone and serving military personnel from the Australian and USA defence forces.
The veterans were really impressed with our students with one saying 'You just don't know what it means to us to have them here' both because it brings back memories of when they were injured in Vietnam, but also because it shows the youth of today have not forgotten their sacrifices.
