MACCLESFIELD Primary School helped remember the Anzacs last Friday through planting oak trees in its school grounds.
As part of the National Trust of Australia’s Gallipoli Oaks Project, the oaks were planted with great delight from students and teachers.
Emerald RSL representative Daryl Bristowe thanked students and families involved.
Meanwhile, principal John Chiswell said it was a great way to remember those who sacrificed so much.
“We remember them and honour their memory during our Anzac ceremony,” he said.
“Students placed a poppy in the area surrounding the Gallipoli oak to create a carpet of poppies.”
The National Trust of Australia said that planting over 500 special Gallipoli oaks during the Anzac Centenary would create enduring, living memorials in all schools across Victoria.
