Senior Cadets attend Sandakan Remembrance Service

The Senior cadets from MLC School represented the School very well at the Memorial Service for the Sandakan Marches held in Burwood Park on Sunday morning 7 August 2022. It was a moving service as the various speakers recounted why it was taking place and why it was important in the history of the Burwood community. Our newly appointed CUOs read poems to the audience gathered which captured the sentiment and depth of sadness experienced by those POWs at Sandakan.
