Anzac Day

Anzac Day is a significant occasion for all Australians and New Zealanders, as it commemorates the sacrifices made by service members in conflicts past and present. At St Joseph’s Catholic College, we honour this day with deep respect, participating in local services and marches to pay tribute to those who have served our country. Below is the schedule of Anzac Day events, including dawn services and commemorative marches in various locations.
