How proud were we all to be able to take part in the local community ANZAC Day services. As always TLSC Tumbi Umbi Campus participated in three services each of which were well represented by students and staff. The three services were
· Dawn Service at The Entrance
· Dawn service at Terrigal
· Noon service at The Entrance
ANZAC Day is central to who we are as Australians and what makes us focus in on a fair go for all and the keen idea of mateship – for males and females! In short the very values we teach at Tumbi are those central to the spirit of ANZAC. It is wonderful to see how many Australians, young and old, hold these values as important to who we are and what we do.
Ginny Clark, a graduate of TLSC Tumbi Umbi Campus delivered the oration to The Entrance service.
I am proud to acknowledge the active participation of the following campus members in the formal ANZAC Day services – Gemma Eager, Luke Atherton, Bradley Eager, Trent Harris- Maher, Emily Watts, Nate Watts, Isabel Watts, Courtney Neville, Zac Neville, Justin Hinton, Grace Langley, Erin Fidgeon, Bree Fidgeon, Ben van der Kley, Justin van der Kley, Stephanie Kitchen, Sarah-Jane Leidberg, Kathryn Leidberg, Rodney Hill, Karen Eager, Dave Kerr, Jason Brand, Belinda Casey, Owen Quirk, Trish McInnes, Leanne Lincoln, Kristina Jones and many more who attended as private community members.
Personally I don't think I will ever forget the wonderful reception we received from people who turned out at The Entrance for the noon service. It was a moving moment to march with our great students and those from Tuggerah Lakes Learning Community as together we remember that freedom isn't freeand we enjoy our lifestyle because of the sacrifice of many.
