ANZAC Day

Today during our Junior School Assembly, the boys paused for a special ANZAC Day ceremony. Each year, on 25 April, Australians stop to remember those who served for the betterment of their country. For us, living in Australia in 2026, we continue to be the beneficiaries of their sacrifice. As a community, we reflected on the extraordinary courage shown by the servicemen and women who have protected, and continue to protect, our values and freedoms. 

Many gave their lives, and many more returned home forever changed by the realities of war. ANZAC Day reminds us that the freedoms we enjoy today were built on courage, selflessness, and profound loss. The Spirit of the ANZACs: courage, mateship, endurance, and sacrifice, remains a defining part of our national identity and shapes the way we strive to live as a community.

In the Junior School, ANZAC Day also invites us to consider the legacy we leave behind. Just as past generations protected the values they believed in, our boys are encouraged to honour the legacy of Trinity College by treating the College, its people, and its values with respect. Every act of kindness, fairness, and responsibility contributes to leaving the Junior School, and the wider College, in a better place for those who follow.

As we commemorated ANZAC Day, we not only remembered the past but also reflected on the role each boy plays in shaping the future of our community.

Lest we forget.

God Bless,

Mr James McPherson

Head of Junior School
