Mathoura says thanks with song, poppies

It included the recital on a short poem titled I'm Planting a Poppy Today.

After the service, students then individually planted their hand-crafted poppy as a symbol of remembrance before observing a minute of silence.

At the town service, Mathoura Public School students performed an emotive version of I Am Australian in honour of service people.

Two Year five students, Ava Wardlaw and Braxton Lilford, were also given the honour of laying a wreath on behalf of the school community.
