College gathers for ANZAC service

Our ANZAC Day service followed after ANZAC Day this year as the public holiday fell in the school holidays. We made our assembly a whole school assembly on Wednesday and both kindergarten classes were then able to join the rest of the school for the commemoration.

Our Catafalque Party, made up of serving members of the Cadets, is always a memorable ingredient and important as a sign of respect to those who have given their lives in defence of the nation. We thank them for their participation.

Jacob Davidson and Meg Parkinson, our College Captains, conducted the ceremony, and welcomed guest speaker, historian John Lennox, who spoke about journeys, in our lives and those of our servicemen and women.

Mission leaders recited In Flanders Fields, and Year 6 Captains, Jack Cassidy and Sarah Wright, laid a wreath during a video tribute.

All students and staff wore paper poppies today. Thank you everyone for your respectful participation in this important commemoration.
