We will remember them

Last Saturday, on 11 November, Mount Lilydale Mercy College proudly participated in the Remembrance Day ceremony in Lilydale. The ceremony was a moving tribute to all those who have served and sacrificed for our country, and the College was honoured to be a part of it.

The College Choir, once again, did us proud with their stirring renditions of the national anthem and O God, Our Help In Ages Past. Their beautiful voices filled the air and created a truly special atmosphere.

Our College Captains, Kate W and Joshua O, represented the College with distinction in their first official duty by laying a wreath at the cenotaph. They did so with dignity and respect, and their presence was a testament to the College's commitment to honouring our veterans.

The ceremony was a powerful reminder of the importance of remembering our past and the sacrifices made by those who have come before us. It was also a time to reflect on the values of peace, tolerance, and respect that are so important to our community.

MLMC students paused their learning on the morning of Thursday 9 November to be part of our annual Remembrance Day service at the College. 2023 Humanities Prefect Olivia B and 2024 Humanities Prefect Zac P presented the service over the PA while students and staff listened in with their homerooms and followed along with a powerpoint presentation. Olivia and Zac then laid a wreath underneath the Australian flag at the College.

MLMC is proud to be a part of the Remembrance Day tradition, and we look forward to continuing to honour our veterans for many years to come.
