It marks the first major military action fought by Australian and New Zealand forces during the First World War. During the service and our time at the Kingsgrove RSL we learnt about and looked at a multitude of historical pieces from defence forces such as the Army, Navy and Airforce, as well as a look at the Vietnam War display which is in the foyer of Kingsgrove RSL.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The students joined other local primary and high schools outside for a moving service to commemorate Anzac Day. During the service everyone listened to student speakers talk about the significance of Anzac Day and the importance of symbols like the poppy and rosemary.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Students also viewed the catafalque party from the local cadets program and listened to poems such as \u2018In Flanders Field\u2019 by John McCrae and \u2018Sir\u2019 by Damian Morgan. Two representatives from each school carried a wreath accompanied by a military veteran towards the front of the stage. The ceremony concluded with a lunch provided by the Kingsgrove RSL club.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Students got to experience a special ceremony commemorating those who have served for our country.
