ANZAC Day Commemoration

On Tuesday 25 April we commemorate ANZAC Day. This date is the anniversary of the day Australian and New Zealand soldiers landed on the beaches of Gallipoli in 1915 as part of the Allies' invasion in World War 1. We recognise more than 1.5 million men and women who have served Australia in all conflicts, wars and peacekeeping operations. It's also a time to remember some 102,000 Australians who lost their lives while serving.

Consider joining the Dawn Service at the Shrine of Remembrance in the city, or a local service.

Our ANZAC Day commemoration will be held at school on Wednesday 26 April (first day at school for all students in Term 2). Student leaders will assist leading the service and music ensembles will perform. Each class are creating a sustainable wreath this term that will be laid during the commemoration. Parents/carers are welcome to join us for the commemoration.

ANZAC Appeal

Thank you for the wonderful support of this year's ANZAC Appeal, purchasing the variety of fundraising items on behalf of our local Waverley RSL Sub-Branch.

Thanks too to Mrs Easdale and students from 6E for selling the ANZAC Appeal items before and after school, and in classrooms during lunch eating time.

Everything except the $30 and $50 badge have been sold. If you are interested in either of these, please come to the School Office.

Students are welcome to wear their badge on Wednesday 26 April when we will have our commemoration.

The Ode

They shall grow not old,

as we that are left grow old:

Age shall not weary them,

nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun

and in the morning,

We will remember them.
