RESI NEWS #4 Issue 4 Anzac Day Dawn Service: April 25 th marks an important day in many people’s lives throughout the world, commemorating the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps Remembrance Day. Despite the brutal wake up time and temperature 15 Deakin University Students, decided to brave the icy weather and pay their respects to past, present and future Military Service members by attending Warrnambool’s Dawn Service. Thousands of individuals attend the Dawn Service around the globe, not only in Australia or New Zealand, but even a march through London sees celebrations of the soldiers who risked life and limb in order to ensure we are able to live the lives we have today. Anzac Day was officially name on the 25 th of April in 1916, in order to honour the 60,000 lives which were lost during the war. There were government orders prohibiting large public gatherings in case of a Japanese air attack, so it was a small occasion, with neither a march nor a memorial service. Since then, Anzac Day has been commemorated every year. The Dawn Service attended has its origins throughout the Australian Army as during battle the half- light witnessed during dawn was favoured for the optimal time for attack. As per Military Routine, a Dawn Service Routine has been developed from the first person laying a wreath, as their own personal remembrance of a fallen comrade, to the bugler playing the ‘Last Post’ followed by 1 minute silence, which is concluded by the Reveille ringing through the morning light.

Anzac Day Dawn Service:
April 25th marks an important day in many people’s lives throughout the world, commemorating the Australian and New Zealand Army
Corps Remembrance Day. Despite the brutal wake up time and temperature 15 Deakin University Students, decided to brave the icy weather and pay their respects to past, present and future Military
Service members by attending Warrnambool’s Dawn Service. Thousands of individuals attend the Dawn Service around the globe,
not only in Australia or New Zealand, but even a march through London sees celebrations of the soldiers who risked life and limb in order to ensure we are able to live the lives we have today. Anzac
Day was officially name on the 25th of April in 1916, in order to honour the 60,000 lives which were lost during the war. There were government orders prohibiting large public gatherings in case of a
Japanese air attack, so it was a small occasion, with neither a march nor a memorial service. Since then, Anzac Day has been
commemorated every year. The Dawn Service attended has its origins throughout the Australian Army as during battle the half-
light witnessed during dawn was favoured for the optimal time for attack. As per Military Routine, a Dawn Service Routine has been
developed from the first person laying a wreath, as their own personal remembrance of a fallen comrade, to the bugler playing the ‘Last Post’ followed by 1 minute silence, which is concluded by the
Reveille ringing through the morning light. On behalf of Deakin University Warrnambool

Resi Sport – Horse Racing Edition
Despite the cold weather and the potential rainy conditions, 20 odd brave Deakin Residents marched their way onto the Netball Courts to participate in the Resi Multi Sports - May Races edition with events such as "Tail Tag" and "Pin the Tail on the Horse". While the majority of the turnout was from the Green Gators, all teams present battled hard in every event.
The competitive nature of the sports almost became too much for our Resi Students with a potentially fatal (not really) collision between Green Gator, Justin and Blue Barracuda, Daniel. While Daniel’s injury looked cosmetically worse, both boys pulled out fine! All I can say is if our injury list keeps adding up, Warrnambool Base Hospital may be giving us a concerned call! Represent your team! See you at the next Resi sports! Louise Dunleavy, Green Gator
