Former PHS Students with Defence Service Honour Board Questions

PHS Honour Board

Our new Honour Board recognising former students who have served in the Defence Force is now hanging in the hall. We welcome any additional names. Details can be found on the school website by clicking this link.The board was funded by the Commonwealth Government as part of the centenary of ANZAC.

We acknowledge and thank all who have served. Thank you as well to staff members Rae Clapshaw, Clark Stone and Brooklyn Dicker for bringing this important project to life. Although we were not able to acknowledge the new board for ANZAC Day this year as schools were closed, we look forward to acknowledging former students in future ANZAC and Remembrance ceremonies and have been encouraged by the number of students who have reached out to be added after seeing the board via social media.

For those of you who have replied already and to those who would like their names added, could you please also send in answers to the questions asked below.
