The morning began outside Burren Junction Public School, where students, staff and community members assembled before marching together to the town’s war memorial. Led by senior students carrying the Australian flag and school banner, the procession reflected both pride and respect, with young and old walking side by side through the streets.
At the memorial, the service was led by the Burren Junction Public School Year 6 Parliament, who played a central role throughout the ceremony. School leaders welcomed attendees, including returned service personnel and community members, and highlighted the importance of remembering not only those who served in past conflicts but also those who continue to serve today.
