ANZAC Day Commemoration for Students at ANZAC Square

On Thursday 23 April, Canzona joined the Brisbane Boys’ College Collegians in representing Clayfield College at the ANZAC Day Commemoration for Students, held at ANZAC Square in the city. This moving service brought together students from across Brisbane to honour the sacrifices of Australia’s servicemen and women.

The ceremony included an address by Her Excellency the Honourable Dr Jeanette Young, Governor of Queensland, with whom our students were also photographed. Our students contributed musically throughout the service and the wreath‑laying ceremony. We extend our sincere thanks to Canzona for their outstanding representation of the College at this significant occasion.
