Catholic College Sale has collaborated with the Stratford Cemetery Trust and the local Sub-Branch of the RSL to pay homage to the 168 men and women who died during World War 2 interred at the Stratford Cemetery.
Students have made Anzac biscuits and displays for the service being held on Sunday, 12 November.
The involvement of the Hospitality students, who have made over 400 Anzac biscuits, adds a nice touch to the occasion, as these will be shared with the attendees of the service and is a thoughtful way to commemorate the memory of the service men and women.
The Year 11 Religious Education – Service in Action class’ contribution by creating garden stakes to be placed at each gravesite with a story of each individual adds a personal touch to the commemoration.
Each gravesite will have a marker, an Australian flag, and a copy of the person’s WW2 Service Certificate. These meaningful gestures reflect the respect and appreciation for those who served in WW2, ensuring that their legacy lasts.
Past student Dane Nicholls (Class of 2022) will sing the national anthem and two other songs.
Dane is the great-grandson of veteran Austin Tobin, so this marks a special occasion for him and his family.
It is great to see the students of Catholic College Sale immersing themselves in such a great cause in our community, as these initiatives play a crucial role in preserving the memory of these individuals and the community’s historical involvement in wartime efforts.
