Congratulations to Ejoy.
Dorothea Mckellar was an early 20th Century Australian poet most famous for her stirring work “My Country” written in 1908.

Since that time it has grown from an inaugural 300 entries to a competition which attracts tens of thousands of entries from school students across the nation. This year the award in the NSW Multicultural category has been won by Narrabundah College student Ejoy for her amazing poem “Phantoms”, described by the judges as a “Deeply moving and heartfelt poem of dislocation and belonging. “ Ejoy was presented with her trophy during last week’s assembly, along with some beautiful book prizes and a cheque for $500.

ANZAC Day at Narrabundah College.
ANZAC Day at Narrabundah College was remembered this year in a service that commemorated the fallen from all wars. Esther, Augustine and Alexander represented the Narrabundah student body and spoke eloquently about the sacrifice of youth and the importance of shared memory, in forming a unique and relevant national identity. A catafalque party from the Australian Defence Forces Ceremonial Guard was present throughout the ceremony. Major Scott Stephens’ address reminded us of the interconnectedness of experience between Australians at Gallipoli, on the Western Front and in innumerable conflicts and contemporary campaigns to this day. A thank you is extended to former student Patrick for returning to the College to perform the Last Post. It was a moving and inspiring service, showcasing the high calibre and emotional maturity of our students.
