St Edward’s College annually pays tribute to the valiant individuals who have served, and continue to serve, in defence of our nation and the cause of freedom worldwide. Each year, we dedicate our commemorations to a unique theme that encourages the sharing of diverse perspectives and fosters deep learning through focused activities.
This year, we shine a spotlight on Women in Service. We aim to explore and celebrate the stories and achievements of women who have played crucial roles in, or lived through, the major conflicts that Australia has participated in.
To enrich our commemorative service and Year level presentations, we are reaching out to our community to invite contributions in two significant ways:
- Stories and Photos: If you or your family possess anecdotes, photographs, or any materials about women who served or experienced these major conflicts firsthand, and you are comfortable sharing these for our commemoration, we warmly invite you to send them to us. We are interested in all aspects of their experiences, whether it be everyday life during these periods or their direct involvement in the conflicts.
- Guest Speakers: If you are a woman who has served, or is currently serving, or if you know a family member who fits this description and is interested in sharing her story with our students, please get in touch. We are eager to include you in our Year level presentations as a special guest to offer a personal perspective on service.
If there are any inquiries or questions, please reach out to Alex Rozario (Leader of Justice, Peace, and Advocacy) through email – arozario@stedwards.nsw.edu.au
