History Club - Vietnam Veterans' Day

On 18 August, six Year 10 students, Isabelle S, Lillian M, Bronwyn Z, Laura Z, Amelia M, and Gabrielle V, represented the College at Vietnam Veterans' Day Service in Mawson Park, Campbelltown.

Vietnam Veterans' Day marks the day in 1966 when the Battle of Long Tan took place. Five men from Campbelltown were killed in Vietnam, including Kevin 'Dasher' Wheatley VC. The girls met several veterans, serving military personnel and caught up with past staff member and Board Member, Mr Bernie Egan, who served in Vietnam. 

In lieu of a wreath, the students laid a book tribute (two books on the Vietnam War) on behalf of the College. These will be distributed to schools in the Macarthur area. 

The students enjoyed looking at the various monuments in Mawson Park and the historical displays in the RSL Club.
