The planting of a Gallipoli oak tree by students of Furlong Park School for Deaf Children on Friday started Anzac Day celebrations across Brimbank and Caroline Springs.
The Gallipoli oak ceremony was held last Friday at the Sunshine North school, with principal Anne-Maree Crivelli saying the seedling would “continue to be a reminder of this important event for many generations to come”.
The school was one of 500 primary schools to plant seedlings for Anzac Day.
A number of war veterans attended an official Anzac commemoration at Victoria University Secondary Colleges’ St Albans senior campus last Friday and hundreds of people paid their respects at dawn services the Caroline Springs war memorial and Sunshine RSL yesterday.
