Bonnets, Chocolate, and Gratitude

The students at the Murray Upper State School finished off their term 1 by eating a vast quantity of Easter eggs and showing off their ‘Postcards of Honour’ and Easter bonnets. With high energy and happy spirit, the Cardwell RSL Sub Branch congratulated all parents, students, and teachers for an amazing job they did on the two projects.

Postcards of Honour is an initiative introduced by the State Office of the RSL and has proved very popular with all three local schools around Cardwell, and the students got very creative making them. Postcards of Honour is a creative learning activity for primary and high school students where students can design and write postcards to express their gratitude to veterans, fostering understanding and appreciation of Australia’s military history.

Throughout Australia’s military history, postcards and letters have provided vital support to those on active duty. Postcards of Honour invites students to reflect on this tradition by writing and decorating a postcard to show a service person their support and appreciation.

The Cardwell RSL Sub Branch invites everyone to participate in their Anzac Day March and Ceremony at 10:45am on Saturday the 25th of April 2026.
