The Rotary Club of Mundingburra was proud to provide a Peace Pole to St Benedict School at Shaw which was installed at a special ceremony at 9am on the 22nd of November with the help and support of various students and staff at the school..

 

The peace pole is the first one installed in the Townsville area to our knowledge and provides a message of Peace in the local area., 

 

The Pole is displayed with the words "May Peace Prevail on Earth" and is endorsed with a different language on each of its 4 sides.

St Benedict's pole contains,  English, Latin, Spanish and Punjabi as selected by the school.

 

Planting a Peace Pole is a way to bring people together from many sectors of the community. Every Peace Pole dedication ceremony is a unique outcome of the shared experience of those who plan the program, as well as those who attend.

 

Hopefully, the club may be able to provide more poles for other local schools to spread the message of Peace, which is becoming more adnd more important every day.
