Ex POW Association Annual Service

 

On Friday 14 May, in partnership with the Ex POW Association, we hosted 200 people to the annual service at Kings Park. The school adopted the Association and the memorial in 1997 and each year our Senior Band, choir, prefect's and councillors take part in the service. This year the Premier Mark McGowan, Lord Mayor Basil Zempilas, Simon Millman MLA Member for Mount Lawley, representatives from the Army, Navy and Airforce and several exservice associations and veteran's families attended along with veterans Arthur Leggett (102) Syd Shaw (98). It was a very moving service and our choir, and the concert band were outstanding.

Jayda (Year 12) gave a wonderful Welcome to Country Address, Jack, our School Captain, did a fine job as MC, Kate (Year 12) read Psalm 121, while Steven (Year 12) recited the Lord's Prayer and Seb (Year 12) recited the Ode. I would like to thank Ray Galliot, secretary of the EX POW Association who played such a pivotal role in the success of the day.
