ANZAC Service and Display
On Thursday our school community gathered to commemorate ANZAC Day in our school hall.
This solemn occasion was an opportunity to reflect on the life and service of many Australian Service men and women – who have served and fought to protect our Freedom.
Many have paid the ultimate sacrifice – and like Jesus, have not been forgotten and remain with us each day.
As we listened to the acknowledgement of Country, to prayers, guest speakers and the Ode- as well as the Australian National Anthem, we were reminded of how lucky we are to live in this beautiful place - Australia.
This freedom has come at a cost, let us remember the ANZACs courage, may we be inspired by their bravery and strive to be courageous in all that we do - Lest We Forget.
Thank you to parents and service personnel who attended this day and then joined us for refreshments.
Australian War Memorial display
In the last 2 weeks of term 1, we had an interactive display on loan from the Australian War Memorial. Real and replica uniforms, equipment and artifacts from the First World War were all on display for the students to explore. Students listened to stories, had a go at writing a postcard home and were able to try on uniforms from our past and present Servicemen and Women. We learnt about our ANZACs as well as the contribution of Australian sailors, airmen, nurses, and those at home during a defining period in our nation's history.
