Dear Families,

Today we gathered for our Anzac Day Liturgy.

It was a most reflective ceremony. Students have been learning about the ANZACS in their Library and class time activities. We remember all who served and died in all wars, conflicts and peacekeeping operations and the contribution and suffering of all those who have served.

Thank you so much for your very generous donations in support of Legacy. Purchasing badges and wrist bands demonstrates our awareness and care for those who served in wars and their families. These donations go to Legacy which supports the partners and children of veterans who served in wars.

No school on ANZAC DAY Thursday the 25th April or Friday 26th of April - Closure Day.
