Poppy planting fills Anzac Gardens | City of Gosnells
More than 1,000 paper poppies, created by local school children, have been planted in the newly named Anzac Gardens, to commemorate Anzac Day in the City of Gosnells.
Mayor Terresa Lynes joined Minister for Veterans’ Affairs and Member for Burt Matt Keogh at Southern Grove Primary School, where students were making some of the poppies.
The paper flowers were later planted in Anzac Gardens by City of Gosnells Councillor and ex-servicewoman Kylie Dalton, alongside students from Wirrabirra Education Support Centre.
Other participating schools included Ashburton Drive, Beckenham, Caladenia, East Kenwick, Sacred Heart and Wirrabirra primary schools as well as Rehoboth Christian College.
“Creating and planting poppies has been a special way for local school children to connect with the Anzac spirit,” Mayor Lynes said.
