This year the theme for the Magid Campus ANZAC Assembly was Boy Soldiers. Students of the school whose relatives had served participated in the ceremony, reciting the names of their relatives whom they were honouring. Participants included: Jacob & Noah Fleiszig (Y8 & Y10); Eitam Danino, Josef Want and Jagger Jolson (Y6); Noah & Raph Segal (Y12 & Y10); Dion, Jaida & Zach Cohen (Teacher, Y12 & Y10); Arthur Slucki (Y8); Sophia & Ebony Lewis (Y8 & Y10); Ethan Prendergast (Y12) and Toby Hauser (Y10).
What was of special note was the story of Ebony and Sophia’s Zeide ‘Gunner’ Wolfi who served in WWII and the lessons of life which he learned from serving and passed onto them. Each year more and more staff and students provide names and photographs of their relatives who served, which has led to the expansion of the original honour board to two.
Bugler John Mansfield who has played at the MCG, performed the Last Post and Reveille which enhanced the ceremony for everyone. After the Assembly, John Mansfield examined the WWI Bugle in the Rabbi Professor John Levi Antiquities Teaching Collection donated by the Green Family. After examining it he said for it to remain in its current condition for the purposes of education. It was a sombre but deeply moving experience to hear the bugle played by a soldier live.
