Avondale honours Anzacs

Avondale College of Higher Education president Dr Ray Roennfeldt honoured those who served and died in military operations for their country by laying a wreath at the war memorial during the Anzac Service in Morisset, April 25.

With drum major and senior lecturer in physics Dr Lynden Rogers again wielding the mace, Avondale Brass Band followed the veterans in South Lake Macquarie RSL Sub Branch’s Anzac Day march down Dora Street to the memorial at the Morisset Country Club.

A number of Avondale staff members are members of the band, including Associate Professor Kevin de Berg.

Vocal ensemble Avondale Singers’s performance of “In Flanders Fields” opened the Anzac Service. Director Aleta King then led in the singing of the hymns and of the national anthem.
