Although not represented in the photo above,Year 10 students were priveleged to hear Barry Heard speak at our school on the 28th May.Barry is a Vietnam veteran and author of several books and participant of numerous awards."Well Done Those Men",his personal and harrowing account of the Vietnam War and its aftermath, represents Victoria in the 2012 National Year of Reading.Barry has also just signed a film contract for this book and I look forward with interest to see how his story is protrayed on the big screen.
You could have heard a pin drop in the Lecture Theatre when Barry was speaking.Our students were moved by his presentation and I'm sure he will have a lasting impression on all those who attended.
