A number of years ago, in October 2022, a storm came through MLMC with such ferocity that it split the original pine tree located at the front of the College near the newly refurbished Campbell building in half. The tree had been propagated from the lone pine tree in Gallipoli and had stood for many years, with a plaque commemorating it.
The groundsman at the time, Mr Peter Damon, decided to cultivate another seedling from one of the pine cones. On Wednesday 17 April, Humanities Prefect Zacc P and fellow student Amy L planted the seedling in a lunchtime ceremony.
To commemorate the 109-year anniversary of Anzac Day, which is held annual on 25 April, the College will hold a commemoration ceremony on Tuesday 23 April during Pastoral Care. Our College will also be part of the dawn service at Lilydale cenotaph next Thursday morning.
