War Veterans History Talk



In week 11 of term 1, Mr Files' History students were part of a very special occasion that saw a visit from a group of Riverland Vietnam War Veterans.
This group of students have all volunteered to enter the Premier's ANZAC School Spirit Prize and have been meeting outside of class time to discuss all things History! As part of this, the led up to ANZAC Day and their task for the ANZAC School Spirit Prize, the group of students desperately wished to meet with some veterans.
Vietnam War Veterans Tony Guster, Ray Hartigan, Grahame Pendle, Colin Short and Marianne Smith all generously gave their time to meet with and chat to the students. For over an hour the students were engaged and hanging on every word of the answers, stories and lessons provided by this group of inspirational veterans. This was a unique learning experience that included many personal experiences, deep knowledge and inspiring stories that only ANZAC Veterans can deliver.
Renmark High School would like to sincerely thank Tony, Ray, Grahame, Colin and Marianne for the insights, stories, knowledge, feelings and inspiration they provided students with. This was a moment in time that this group of students will never forget and an opportunity they are extremely grateful to have received as it inspires their future studies.
