Remembrance Day

RESPECT: Thank you to our 2023 College Captain, Billy, and Vice Captain, Tamsyn who represented our college at the Remembrance Day ceremony at Point Danger on the 11th November, honouring those who’ve served and sacrificed. 

Why November 11th?

"At 5am on 11 November 1918 in a railway carriage in France, representatives of France, Britain and Germany all signed a document that would put an end to four years of conflict. Six hours later – at 11am – those signatures would bring into effect the Armistice that ended World War I.  

Across the world, people rejoiced and celebrated the news, including in Australia. Despite the late hour of the day, school, fire station, and church bells around the country rang, waking hundreds of people to share the news that war was over. " 

Remember those who gave their life in service of their country and also remember those who served bravely and came home injured or ill. 

Throughout the Commonwealth and beyond, we remember all who paid the ultimate price for our freedom.
