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.
