Students at the Benalla Secondary School have recently been nominated for a ‘Keep Australia Beautiful’ award for their efforts in maintaining graves at the local cemetery.  Their ever vigilant presence has not only made a great difference to the appearance of the grave-sites but has played a part in lowering the instances of vandalism.  Well done to the students.
