Value of the Fortnight

We will continue exploring the value of Courage next week.

Tomorrow is Anzac Day, an important moment for all Australians to pause and reflect on the courage, discipline and self‑sacrifice shown by the thousands of Australians who served in times of war. 

More than 100,000 men and women made the ultimate sacrifice, giving their lives so that we can enjoy the freedoms and way of life we have today.

On Anzac Day, we remember the 1915 Gallipoli landings of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC), and we honour all Australian personnel who have served and died in wars, conflicts and peacekeeping operations. 

The Anzac spirit continues to live on in the hearts and minds of Australians as we acknowledge the bravery and sacrifice of those who helped shape our national identity.

At today’s whole‑school assembly, our one minute of silence symbolised our deep respect and gratitude for every soldier, sailor and airman who has worn the Australian Defence Force uniform.

Lest we forget.
