On Monday 8 April, Years 5 and 6 had a very special guest come to speak to them in the lead up to ANZAC Day. Mr John Fleming who is the great grandfather of Haylie (6E), Logan (3M) and Alec (KRC) spoke to the children about his service in the Second World War. Mr Fleming is 99 years old and served with the 9th Division of the 2nd AIF (Australian Imperial Force) in places such as Tobruk, El Alamein and New Guinea.

Mr Fleming shared some of his experiences and memory of how the men in these notable battles shaped the outcome of not just the North Africa campaign, but the Second World War. 

Years 5 and 6, their teachers, and especially Mr Evans would like to extend their thanks to Mr Fleming for making the time to visit and share his experiences of these historic events. Our students are very lucky to be able to say that they have met one of the renowned 'Rats of Tobruk'​.
