ANZAC Day Acknowledgements 

This week, in both classrooms and specialist subjects, students have engaged in learning and acknowledging our ANZACs, ANZAC symbols, and the concept of conflict. 

 

This afternoon, our School Captains led the school in an ANZAC acknowledgement and encouraged students to engage in a ceremony tomorrow.
