Lest we forget
TANYA MURPHY St. Andrew’s College students commemorated Remembrance Day this week by planting a field of approximately 2000 poppies they made from recycled plastic bottles. Defence School Mentor Jo Lawson said she came up with the idea for the project in 2018 when commemorating 100 years since the end of World War I. “We thought it would be a wonderful recycling project and an opportunity to create poppies we could use for many years to come,” she said. “Students and staff bought in bottles, then we washed them, cut them, painted and then
added the center and attached the stems. “It was a joint effort, all grades contributed to different parts of the project. “This year each student has had the opportunity to reflect on the importance of Remembrance Day, and ‘plant’ a poppy in The Field of Poppies while reflecting on the sacrifice many made so as we can enjoy the freedom we have today.” Ms Lawson mentors students of defence families that are serving both in Australia and abroad.
