ST JOHN'S ANZAC DAY CEREMONY

Our annual ANZAC Memorial Ceremony and morning tea was held on Thursday, May 2nd. We would like to thank the many special guests who attended this important event, which honours the struggle and sacrifices made by those serving our country, both past and present, providing us with the peace and freedom we enjoy today.

Thank you so much to Captain Gavin Fairs of the Royal Australian Navy for delivering our ANZAC address.

The conduct and respect shown by all students at the ceremony was exemplary. We are blessed to work with such fine young people & confident they will meet the call for continued peace.

I am so proud of everyone who contributed to making the ANZAC day commemorative Ceremony such a success.
