ANZAC Day 2026

A special ANZAC Day Assembly was held at DPWPS on Friday 24th April.  

Our students listened attentively to the background information about the significance of ANZAC Day, stood quietly during the ‘Last Post’ and took part in a minute of silence.

Other symbols of respect that were incorporated into this assembly included the ‘The Ode’ being read aloud by Mr Camilleri, the Australian flag being lowered to half-mast on the flagpole and the laying of a wreath of flowers on behalf of our school community.

I would like to acknowledge the students that participated in various aspects of the assembly: the School Captains: Nela 6A & Shona 6C and Vice Captains: Aleksandra 6B & Semaet 6B along with a small number of other students from various year levels that brought flowers from home to place at the base of the flagpole.   

Thank-you for taking part in this important commemorative assembly. 

ANZAC Day badges:  The sale of ANZAC Day badges & wrist bands raised $120.00. Thank-you to everyone who purchased a badge and an extra ‘Thank-you’ to Miss Myall for overseeing the sale of these items at the School Office. The money we raised will be sent directly to the Sunshine R.S.L, who always appreciate our support.
