ANZAC DAY

Dawn Service, 2016

Wattle Park Primary School with the permission of ANZAC House, holds a linkage (by ABC

broadcast) to the dawn service on the school grounds.

We invite any interested persons in our school and community to join us in this opportunity

to remember our fallen servicemen and women.

We feel this is a great opportunity for those unable to travel to the Shrine of Remembrance

for the occasion.

We shall be following the order of ceremony as directed by the ADCC (Anzac Day

Commemoration Council).

We ask those interested to gather at the School Administration area by 5.45am for a 5.50am

start, concluding at 6.30am on Anzac Day, Monday, 25th April. The Ceremony is an

important occasion, so that future generations of young Australians do not forget the horror

of war and the importance of ANZAC Day in Australia’s history.

Please join us in remembering and giving thanks to the men and women whose love and

sacrifice in wartime has enabled all Australians to live in peace and freedom.

We encourage any children who may be in possession of their grandparent’s medals to wear

them on the day, noting protocol; medals should be worn to the right side

Poppies will be available for a donation of $1 (money collected shall be forwarded onto the

Box Hill RSL).

The poppies can then be placed on the memorial as part of the ceremony.

Victorian Premiers’ Reading Challenge The Victorian Premiers’ Reading Challenge is now open and Wattle Park Primary School is excited to be participating. The Challenge is open to all Victorian children from birth to 16 years in recognition of the importance of reading for literacy development. It is not a competition; but a personal challenge for children to read a set number of books by the closing date of the challenge. Children from Foundation to Year 2 are encouraged to read or ‘experience’ 30 books with their parents and teachers. Children from Year 3 to Year 10 are challenged to read 15 books. If you would like your child to participate, please return the attached privacy and consent form. All children who meet the Challenge will receive a certificate of achievement signed by the Victorian Premier and can choose to have their name included on the online Honour Roll. For more information about the Victorian Premiers’ Reading Challenge and to view the booklists, visit: www.education.vic.gov.au/prc
