On Wednesday we shared in reflective and reverential services at both our Junior and Senior schools to mark ANZAC Day. I was again impressed by the students’ capacity to understand the significance of the occasion and to present themselves with appropriate gravity and respect. In the Senior School ANZAC Service, I spoke about a former teacher of the College, Horace Lisle Rintel, who served in WWI and died in 1917 in Belgium at the third Battle of Ypres. The transcript of this address is available below if you would like to read his story. 

As part of the service, we were able to lower flags on the new flag poles at the Senior School to half-mast. These flag poles have been installed for events such as this week’s, but moreover, so that we can proudly fly the Australian, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander flags together each day.
