NSHS Students Remember.

Posted on 28/4/2014

Last term and during the holidays NSHS students were involved in ANZAC services to remember the sacrife and contribution our forbears made in WWI and in all other theatres of war Australia has been involved in.  A very enlightening and moving service was held in the school Gym on the Thursday of the last week of term, followed the next day by the Combined Schools Service in Memorial Park, Narrogin. On ANZAC Day at Memorial Park, Narrogin, NSHS was represented once again by Prefects Shannon and Brad Walliss who laid a wreath of remembrance, Emily Ballantyne who played “The Last Post” and then by Renee Sieber who delivered a very informative address on the local O’Rourke family from Yilliminning who had 3 sons enlist in WWI.
