RSL Youth Club

It is vital that we maintain our strong ties to the local community and RSL Club, we participate in RSL Marches and Commemoration Services to give all members a sense of history to share in the ANZAC tradition.

 

We also support many local and national charities throughout the year; such as Salvation Army Red Shield Appeal, Chris Riley’s Youth of the Streets and The Exodus Foundation. This year we are also supporting the Red Cross Victorian Bushfire Appeal.

April

 

The spirit of the ANZACS is an important part of Australian history and part of our national identity. Australia become one nation in 1901. Then in 1914 the First World War broke out. Many young Australian men volunteered to go and fight. These soldiers became known as the Australian and New Zealand Army Corp. On 25th April 1915 these soldiers landed at Gallipoli and for eight months fought bravely losing 10 000 men. They were eventually evacuated. The courage, spirit and selflessness of these men united a nation and made Australians proud. The brave characteristics of these men became known as the ANZAC spirit. On 25th April Anzac Day we remember this sacrifice. The ANZACS's will be remembered for their amazing courage and selflessness and for helping to create our Australian identity.
