The unveiling of the new poppy sculpture at Chertsey Primary School
Chertsey Primary School has unveiled its new poppy sculpture by renowned sculptor, Mr Michael Vaynman.
The school received an $11,000 grant as part of the Australian Government’s ANZAC Centenary Local Grants Program to commission the sculpture. The sculpture of poppies on a slouch hat has been placed in the centre of the school’s entrance garden for students, parents and visitors to enjoy.
It was unveiled at the school’s ANZAC Day Service on Thursday, April 30. “I congratulate Chertsey Primary School on its efforts to recognise the invaluable contribution of Australian servicemen and women, past and present, and ensure the next generation appreciates their service and sacrifice,” Member for Robertson, Ms Lucy Wicks said at the ceremony.
