John Monash Commemorative Service

On Friday 11 August, 18 students from JMSS were invited to attend the Sir John Monash Commemorative Service. The event was held in the Legislative Assembly Chamber of the Victorian Parliament. The group was accompanied by Assistant Head of Science Fiona Bui, Principal Peter Corkill and former student Jamie Kaltzis (Class of 2022).

JMSS is only one of two schools regularly invited to participate in this event. The other is Scotch College, which is the school Sir John Monash attended as a young man.

 

A note from Principal Corkhill:

Sincere thanks and congratulations to the team of 18 students and accompanying staff members to the Sir John Monash Commemoration Ceremony at Parliament House last Friday. The JMSS representatives were exceptional, in the way they spoke to the many former servicemen and women in attendance, and their genuine interest in the proceedings on the day. We are so fortunate to be able to attend this annual event because of our obvious connection to Monash’s legacy, and we very much look forward to it continuing in the years to come.
