During last Thursday's ANZAC Day commemoration, a rare moment of applause erupted thanks to the captivating performance by the Bunker's Hill State School Choir. The children delivered flawless renditions of both the New Zealand and Australian National Anthems, including the Maori section of the New Zealand Anthem, in perfect unison. Congratulations to the children and their Choir Leader, Mrs. Marie Chin, for such a remarkable performance!

Lockhart's ANZAC Day commemoration commenced at 9 am at the Lockhart Cemetery, featuring a brief service and the reading of ex-Defence members' names on the obelisk by students from Lockhart Central School and St Joseph's School. This gesture was warmly received by all attendees.
