Mueller students embraced the Anzac Day spirit this week, highlighted by their attendance and participation at Wednesday’s Remembrance service. For over an hour, not a sound was heard by the nine hundred or so students in both the Secondary and Primary services. Their conduct and reverence honoured the occasion and demonstrated great respect to special guests Captain Corey Anderson and Major John Parkinson.

Days before the services, several Home Ec. classes and their teachers, and a handful of service prefects had baked and packaged around five hundred Anzac day biscuits to be delivered to residents of the Peninsular Palms Retirement Village next door to Mueller. Immediately following the Remembrance services, a team of Senior boys visited around one hundred units in the village, Prep and Primary classrooms, teacher aides offices, Finance and Administration, and various other ancillary staff, delivering an Anzac gift to each.

Thursday morning then saw around eighty Primary and Secondary students give their morning to attend the Redcliffe Anzac Day march. Our students looked smart in what was a fantastic tribute and contribution to those servicemen and women the event honours. At the RSL Anzac morning service that followed, our school captains, Kody Hockey and Ariana Rodriguez were given the duty of representing the students of the schools and colleges of the Moreton Bay district. The service was attended by local politicians, dignitaries, servicemen and women, veterans, media along with several thousand members of the community. They represented Mueller College with distinction as they delivered a speech and lay a wreath.

Our students can be proud of the way they conducted themselves and participated in Anzac Day this year. The day continues to hold a significant place in the life of not only Mueller College, but the wider Redcliffe and surrounding community. Lest We Forget.
