Year 6 students from all parts of Australia were invited to read and record names of diggers from the Roll of Honour at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra.
These recordings will be played at the Wall of Honour.
Bombala Public School’s Year 6 students spent last Monday morning at the Bega studio of the ABC, where their voices were recorded.
Each child read the names of three or four soldiers (a total of 50 names) who lost their lives during the World War 1.
ABC presenter Ian Campbell showed children around the studio, and then recorded the reading.
The students were honoured to think that their voices will be heard at the Australian War Memorial and that the readings will be kept forever, as part of the history of our country.
