Campbell Primary School Remembrance Day Assembly

Beneath our lovely friendship hill trees and in the shadow of the pines that are descendant of the Gallipoli Lone Pine, Campbell Primary gathered just before 11am to commemorate Remembrance Day 2023. With the beautiful remembrance mural as our backdrop and the highly polished soldiers, sailors and airmen from the Australian Federation Guard forming the flag party it was a rare opportunity to come together as a whole school community for this very important occasion. Led beautifully by our school Captains and Vice Captains, supported by the combined junior and senior choir, and attended by a number of families, it was a short but meaningful traditional service.

A huge thank you goes out to those that supported the service; especially our keynote speaker (and long time CPS parent) Wing Commander Keirin Joyce, our amazing bugler and parent Justin Lingard, and Corporal Burn and the team from the Australian Federation Guard. Appreciation also to Jimmy Mackenzie and CHS for the loan and setup of the sound equipment, the students and teachers of the CPS choir, our School Captains plus Li and Caitlyn for taking on the speaking roles, and our admin and BSO team for their logistical support with the setup. Respectful commemoration of service and sacrifice is a whole community responsibility, and it takes a village of support to do this in a meaningful way each ANZAC and Remembrance Day. A huge thank you to our staff, students, families and community for their attendance, respect, and support.

Lest We Forget.
