History Club - Remembrance Day Mounties Club

The History Club ‘nurses’ were invited by Mounties Club, Mount Pritchard to take part in its Remembrance Day Service. 

Mounties  had some members dressed in World War I AIF uniforms from 18th battalion Living History Group and wanted our nurses to recognise the important contribution Australian women have played in Australia’s military history. Students’ costumes spanned from World War I until the 1980s and focused on women's nursing units. 

Our students were given the honour of taking part in the catafalque party during the ceremony and all students had an opportunity to guard the catafalque. Students also presented a wreath on behalf of the College.

Students involved were Emily M, Janae B, Karli G, Jorja G, Emma M, Laura Z, Taya G, Bianca W, Keely M, Gabrielle V, Kate W, Mia W, Chloe K, Elizabeth K,  Isabelle S and Lillian M. 

A special mention goes to History Club member, Bronwyn Z, who is an Army Cadet. She was involved in the Lakemba ceremony for Remembrance Day.
