A remembrance memorial garden has been unveiled at Keilor Downs’ Monmia Primary School.
Students and staff took part in an Anzac Day remembrance service on Thursday, April 25, during which the memorial garden was revealed.
The reflective assembly was led by the school’s student leaders, providing the community with the opportunity to honour the memory of those who gave their lives in armed conflicts so that we can enjoy the freedom Australia experiences today.
Students learnt about Anzac Day, listened to the Last Post and had a one minute silence. They also sprinkled poppy seeds in the garden as a symbol of Anzac Day.
The memorial garden will be a constant reminder of the significance behind Anzac Day and Remembrance Day to foster a sense of empathy, gratitude and respect for the nation’s service men and women.
