ANZAC DAY MARCHES AND ASSEMBLY
It is an ongoing tradition for St John’s students to represent the school by marching on ANZAC Day at various locations across the Shoalhaven. Students gather behind the School banner with a supervising staff member, participate in the march, attend the service and lay a wreath.
We are very keen for as many students as possible to march as it is a fantastic opportunity for them to represent St John's in their local community.
The marches take place at various times at Berry, Bomaderry, Callala, Culburra Beach, Greenwell Point, Huskisson, Kangaroo Valley, Milton, Nowra, Shoalhaven Heads and Sussex Inlet. Please see the table below for the specific assembly times and places.
Permission notes are available in the student foyer or can be printed off from the school website.
Every year St John's commemorates ANZAC Day at a special ANZAC Assembly. This year the ANZAC Assembly will be held on Thursday 2 May at 8:40am. All members of the school community are very welcome to attend the assembly and the morning tea that follows. We are especially pleased to welcome parents who are serving members of the Australian Defence Force. It adds a special dimension to the assembly to see members of our own St John’s community in their ADF uniforms.
Please RSVP the school office by email: info@sjedow.catholic.edu.au or phone 4423 1666 (for seating and catering purposes) if you would like to attend.
