Vale Lawley Legend Arthur Leggett, OAM

Our wonderful Lawley Legend Arthur Leggett, aged 106 passed away peacefully yesterday afternoon. Arthur has been associated with the school since 1997 when the school adopted the Ex-Prisoner of War Memorial in Kings Park. He was such a very important part of our school, and he will be sorely missed.

He loved talking to our students and over the years he has inspired thousands of young people, at many assemblies. He was a major part of the annual May Ex-POW service in Kings Park and in his speeches, he always focused on remembering his former comrades.

Associate Principal Michael Camilleri and I visited him at his home a few weeks ago and he was very keen to hear all about what was happening at school, and he wanted to pass on his best wishes to the staff and students.

We extend our condolences to his daughters Maureen and Sue and his extended family.

The school will continue to honour his memory and the memory of all POW's by hosting the Ex-POW service in May each year.
