LEGACY WEEK
Legacy Week is a significant fundraising event for many Australians. The funds raised benefit over 100,000 war widows, 1900 children, and people with disabilities. It's also a time when we, as a nation, come together to remember and honour the sacrifices made by our soldiers and their families. This act of remembrance is a powerful expression of our respect and appreciation.
They give back to the families of those who gave so much to our country.
Our Nowra group plays a crucial role in supporting our community. They currently support 200 war widows and 15 school-age children, providing them with the necessary care and assistance.
Legacy Badge Week is being held across the Nowra region from 1 September to 6 September 2024. St Michael's Year 5 students and Defence students in Year 6 will sell legacy-approved merchandise, including well-known bears, pen sets, and other items. Students will also accept gold coin donations for those who wish to contribute. Stalls will be set up outside the office on Wednesday 4 September and Friday 6 September, before school, at lunchtime and in the afternoon.
Thank you to the Year 2 Defence students for helping set up the Defence storage space. Hamish Bailey and Chad Bailey were incredibly proud of themselves for setting up our new storage unit.
