ANZAC Day Commemorations 2022
27 April
On Wednesday 6 April, three of the Year 10 SRC members Paris Govan, Zoe Kierce and Lucas Wells travelled to Melbourne with the Legacy Club of Ballarat and representatives from other Ballarat secondary schools to attend Melbourne Legacy's 90th ANZAC Commemoration Ceremony for Students. Held at the Shrine of Remembrance, the service began at 11:00 am, and featured a speech from the Governor of Victoria, Linda Dessau. The students laid a wreath at the base of the eternal flame. Following the service, the students entered the Shrine, and explored the galleries. Highlights from the museum include, displays on Japan's involvement in WW2, exhibits of past military outfits, and interactive screens to search for past service people.
On Monday 25th April Damascus students Lewis Clark and Laura Lee payed their respects and represented the College at the Anzac Day ceremony, following the Anzac Day March on Sturt Street, Ballarat. At the Buninyong RSL event Damascus College Representatives were Tiana Parry, Brady Lucas and Shannon Craggill. Wreaths were laid at both venues.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
Lest we forget.
