Poppies a bright Anzac tribute at Cambridge Primary School

The gardens of Cambridge Primary School were a sea of red last Friday as the school marked Anzac Day.

The Hoppers Crossing school wanted to mark the 100th anniversary of the landing at Gallipoli with something special, so it created a field of poppies.

Assistant principal Nella Cascone said the school’s 935 pupils and 90 staff made the flowers.

A planting ceremony was then held last Friday afternoon, giving everyone a chance to pay their respects.

Grade 6 pupils Georgia, Ayaan and Shubing (pictured) were among the children who helped plant the poppies.
