Students across the district took part in Anzac Day Services proud to represent their schools by marching, performing and laying wreaths.
Singleton High held their own service on April 27 that had a special focus on the Vietnam War.
Invited guests included a number of representatives from Legacy.
Students from the school’s music and drama departments took to the stage performing music from the Vietnam era and an original play reflecting the devastation of war and the ongoing impact of lives lost.
Lieutenant Brendan Smith from the Lone Pine Barracks gave the address and reminded those in the audience that Anzac Day is not a celebration of war but a day to remember the sacrifice made by ordinary men and women to protect our way of life.
Singleton RSL sub-branch secretary Trevor Stewart congratulated the students on the respect they showed to Anzac Day.
