On Monday 25th of April, the Student Representative Council (SRC) were involved in the Anzac Day march and ceremony. We marched from the target carpark to the Burnie Park, where the ceremony was held. When the ceremony started, and we saw the mayor of Burnie, Piper thought that he was the King of Tassie, but she soon found out she was wrong. First the Burnie concert band played the New Zealand and Australian National Anthem; Next a lady came up and talked to us about the importance of Anzac Day and soon welcomed our guest speaker to the stage. Our guest speaker talked about how she had been involved in a war and how hard it was to live with that experience in her memory, then the laying of the wreaths started. The laying of the wreaths is an act of respect for the people that fought and died for our country. Burnie Primary was lucky enough to lay a wreath to show our respect for them.
Anzac Day is a special day to acknowledge those who fought and died, and to recognise their bravery and courage. We were lucky to be able to attend such an important date, we had an amazing experience.
