2026 Remembrance Day Poppy Appeal
Truganina College
Dear Staff and Truganina College Community,
As Remembrance Day approaches, Truganina College invites our staff, students and community to support the 2026 Remembrance Day Appeal by making a donation to honour the service and sacrifice of Australia’s veterans and all those who have served our country.
Why do we pause at 11am on Remembrance Day?
The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month marks the moment the Armistice came into effect in 1918, ending fighting with Germany in the First World War. On Wednesday 11 November our students will pause for one minute to remember those who died in service.
Our Year 6 Student Leaders, alongside James Damjanovski (Assistant Principal) and Damien Fatini (Year Level Coordinator), will be collecting donations from staff, students and families.
- Dates: Thursday 6th November to Wednesday 11th November.
- Location: Library (next to canteen)
- Morning: 8:30am – 8:45am
- Afternoon: 3:00pm – 3:15pm
As a thank you for your generosity, donors will receive a poppy badge as a symbol of remembrance and respect.
Every contribution helps us honour the service and sacrifice of those who have served our country. We encourage our community to wear their poppy with pride and take a moment to reflect on the significance of Remembrance Day.
Thank you for your support,
Truganina College
