This year the Queensland RSL invited Sub Branches to contact their local schools to ask if they would like to participate in this year’s Draw to Remember initiative.
Mackay RSL Sub Branch contacted St Mary’s Catholic School and they were more than happy to participate.
Upon their acceptance, Mackay RSL President Ken Higgins OAM, and Secretary Nichole Hood, visited St Mary’s Catholic School to present them with the Draw to Remember pack.
Whilst at the school, Mr Higgins provided the students with background on why we stop to remember on November 11.
The students were given their pack which consisted of chalk and workbooks to help with the planning of their drawing.
The students, with the help of their teachers, have completed their Draw to Remember pictures and both Ken and Nichole are excited with the pictures that have been produced.
Mr Higgins also attended both St Mary’s and Mercy College on Friday, November 11 to present both schools with Simpson and his Donkey Certificates.
