2. 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.
4. Joseph Kennedy
Joseph 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.
5. ANZAC day
ANZAC day is a day to remember who fought
in Gallopi in the war. It is on the 25th of April
and is a very important day for all Australians
and people the liv in New Zealand. Anzac
stands for Australia New Zealand army court.
After the war poppies were grew on the battle
grounds, that is why poppies are a symbol of
ANZAC day.
