Those famous words were spoken at Cobram Secondary College on Friday, April 19 as the school hosted its annual Anzac Day ceremony.

Alongside CSC students and staff, members of the Army School of Health, veterans, dignitaries and students from other schools attended the event.

A flyover was conducted by local pilots and relatives of the fallen soldiers that CSC’s student houses are named after laid poppies at the school’s Remembrance Garden.
