The Avenue of Honour was originally planted in 1924 to remember Dimboola servicemen who did not return from World War I. The avenue lines the southern part of our main driveway which circles the oval in front of the memorial building. This driveway is known as Anzac Drive.

Maintenance, additions and re-planting have all taken place over the years to ensure that the Avenue remains a fitting way of honouring our service personnel.

Following World War II, the Avenue was replanted in April 1950 at a very well-attended working bee. At this point the Avenue grew to include World War II casualties. Some time later, another tree was added for A.S.E. Codling, who died in the Korean War.

The trees are watered and maintained by members of the local RSL Sub Branch and we appreciate their continued support.

The Avenue is truly a living memorial, with maintenance and additions taking place right throughout its history. A significant project during the World War I centenary period saw most of the Avenue replanted to replace aging trees.

In 2016 we added four additional trees to acknowledge servicemen who had previously been omitted or incorrectly recorded on the memorial. In 2021 this row of four trees was extended to fill a gap between the Avenue and Assembly Hall with three additional trees acknowledging each of the three services: the Royal Australian Navy, The Australian Army, and Royal Australian Air Force. 2021 marked the centenary of the Royal Australian Air Force, however unfortunately these additional trees were not able to be 'officially' acknowledged during the centenary year due to the pandemic. A ceremony was led by Dimboola RSL Sub-Branch President Brian Bosworth in November 2022.

In addition to the trees that acknowledge those servicemen and women who lost their lives in service, one tree at the north end of our front oval, along Anzac Drive, acknowledges the contributions of Robert Lance Martindale to our school and was planted by his family. The Martindale family has a long connection with our school, with Robert Lance's father, also Robert, instrumental in its establishment. After Robert senior's death he was remembered by the local RSL with a plaque on the Memorial Building.
