ANZAC DAY BY SEB

The Memorial There is a memorial on the corner of our

school. They were not supposed to built the memorial because the government did not want to remember the soldiers that were killed. NPS really cared so they built the Memorial even though it was against the law. The memorial was built in 1916. The memorial was probably built because Joseph Kennedy’s son got injured in the war. Joseph Kennedy was the principal so he decided to built it to remember.

This Is The Memorial

Joseph KennedyJoseph Kennedy was the principal of Norwood Primary School at the time of WW1. He was responsible for building the obelisk even though he was not allowed to, he just cared that much. The memorial/ Obelisk is now on the corner of Norwood Primary School. Everyone had to pay 1 penny to take part in building the Obelisk. Before Joseph made the Obelisk he made a cardboard model with the students.
