Flags acquired around Australia Day, when they're plentiful and inexpensive. Bunting is four sheets of coloured cardboard, cut into pennants and stapled to string. Photos using Hipstamatic (Kodot Grizzled/John S.)
On top of the bookcase is this picture of ANZAC Cove:
and two great quotes related to the day, the ode and Ataturk on how our sons are now theirs too.
The bookmarks we use feature these two quotes - I designed the bookmarks a few years ago (using Microsoft Publisher, they are printed eight to the page on brown/green cardboard) and they work nicely each year. It's good to put both those pieces of writing in the hands of our students each ANZAC Day.
The school, of course, has ANZAC Day remembrance assemblies for the students and staff. The library's display is in support of this. It's good policy and practice to work in with school/national events like this; sometimes libraries can be perceived as being islands/apart/disconnected. Better to be at the heart of things.
Lest we forget.
