Lugarno Public School Anzac Ceremony

Mr MARK COURE (Oatley)

—Speaker, I would like to acknowledge the student leadership team, the P&C and teachers from Lugarno Public School, who recently hosted their annual ANZAC day commemoration. Of course, ANZAC Day is when we acknowledge the brave servicemen and women who have fought in wars, conflicts and peacekeeping operations throughout our nation's history. However, ANZAC Day is also about reflecting on what unites us as Australians. I would like to thank the Principal of Lugarno Public School, Justine Williams, for all of her efforts over the years. Both her and her team are incredibly hardworking and do an absolutely fantastic job caring, teaching and nurturing their students. I would also like to commend all of the students from Lugarno Public School, who were incredibly respectful and well behaved during the entirety of the service. ANZAC Day is such an important time in our nation's Calendar, so it is refreshing to see that the values of courage, mateship, and sacrifice are still so important to the next generation. These values have truly paved the way for the freedoms we enjoy today. Lest we forget.
